About me
I'm a Creative Producer passionate about transforming ideas into impactful visual experiences that connect with diverse audiences. With a strong foundation in creative production, I specialise in story development, copywriting, art direction, and crafting compelling narratives across multimedia platforms. I have a proven track record of producing and setting up shoots around the world for international A-list clients, managing everything from pre-production and logistics to on-site direction and final delivery. My expertise lies in visual storytelling and cross-cultural content creation, combining strategic thinking with a hands-on approach to deliver engaging, high-quality productions. I thrive in collaborative environments, building strong relationships with clients, contributors, and multidisciplinary teams to bring creative visions to life on time and budget. Curious and culturally driven, I draw inspiration from my lifelong passions: cinema, history, art, pop culture, and analogue photography. These interests continuously enrich my perspective and fuel my ability to shape unique, resonant stories.
