An award-winning immersive director and creative producer, I’ve worked with cutting-edge technologies from 3D scanning to motion capture and AR. My passion lies in storytelling at the intersection of tech, narrative and interactivity allowing viewers to have intimate and unforgettable experiences. I’ve generated ideas for a range of platforms and have managed all aspects of the production pipeline from pitching to delivery and working with multidisciplinary teams from creative technologists to sound designers. I also present and co-produce the StoryFutures Academy podcast, interviewing experts from across the immersive industry.
