I am a versatile video editor with over 25 years’ experience in broadcast, corporate and social content creation. Editorially focused creative flair, combined with deep technical and compliance knowledge has led to a varied and long-standing career.
Equally able to work with or without directors, and comfortable communicating with people at all levels to get the best out of resources, teams and content. I regularly work for BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and other respected clients, on site or remotely. With hundreds of hours of programming spanning almost every genre of UK television, I can turn my hand to anything you need.
