My experience spans everything from directing and creative storytelling to hands-on production, cinematography, lighting, sound and editing. I’ve led high-profile projects for clients including the Cabinet Office, City of London Police, Conversion Rate Experts, and Audible, always with an emphasis on storytelling, quality, and collaboration.Alongside my professional work, I volunteer my creative production skills to support charitable andcommunity initiatives.

I’m an actor and singer, having performed on national and international stages, and I also enjoy playing guitar, exploring music of all genres. I love to travel, both for work and personal exploration to find fresh perspectives and inspiration, finding and learning from new people, places and cultures. These experiences continually shape my creativity, storytelling, and connection with others.At the heart of everything I do is the belief that great media is powered by great people — and my goal as a leader is to help those people thrive, create, and make work they’re proud of.
