I’m an award-winning creative professional with over fifteen years of experience spanning writing, producing, directing, photographing and editing. Having delivered hundreds of projects across film, advertising, social, and corporate work — as both an independent filmmaker and a creator for hire — I’ve produced everything from a feature film and concert films to music videos, animation, and promotional content for major brands such as Fortnite, Coke, Cadbury, MTV, Coach, and Cosmopolitan.\n\nI thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy contributing to a diverse mix of projects, from eye-catching campaigns to scroll-stopping social content, using a range of high-end video cameras to mobile shooting and creative editing, driving standout video content from ideation through to successful completion.
Commissioned by Pulse Films & Icon Magazine, our goal with this film was to transform a simple photoshoot into its own form of expression, concluding with a film oozing with style and cool. Adding some Black Keys music doesn’t hurt either.
A scene we filmed in Marylebone with over a 100 people, classic cars and a steadicam where everything had to come together like a beautiful dance.
A scene from a short film I directed in Paris and London, where I focussed on intensity, suspense and chaos as the main character is chased by a killer.

To coincide with the launch of a revamped website and branding, I made several cocktail videos for Hayman’s Gin to share cool recipes with their customers.
Amid opening a new distillery in Londaon, Hayman’s asked me to create multiple videos to populate their brand new website and social media presence. They wanted the viewer to get a feel for the new space and be enticed to trek over for a tour and a tasting. On top of unveiling their distillery and exploring their ingredients and process, we also made cocktail videos to share cool recipes with customers.
The videos were designed to play silently on the website, so I’ve added the temp tracks that fit the mood.
