I am a Creative Director, Videographer and former Sky News Editor with more than 20 years’ experience producing, shooting and editing video across broadcast, documentary and digital platforms. My work spans long‑form storytelling, mid‑form features, branded content and fast‑turnaround news packages. I’ve worked on location in complex and high‑pressure environments, including Kosovo and the Drumcree riots, which shaped my ability to stay calm, accurate and editorially rigorous under pressure. I’m confident behind the camera and in the edit, with expertise in Sony, Panasonic, DJI Ronin 4D, Adobe Premiere, After Effects and DaVinci Resolve. I specialise in crafting narratives that resonate—whether for YouTube, social platforms or online publications. I’m experienced in both vertical and landscape workflows, and I enjoy shaping stories that connect emotionally while staying grounded in factual accuracy and ethical newsgathering. My background includes leading creative direction, managing production teams, collaborating with journalists and stakeholders, and delivering content across a wide range of formats. I’m motivated by journalism that is brave, human and honest, and I’m always looking for opportunities to work with teams that share those values
