About

I’m a creative producer, video editor and content specialist based in Johannesburg, with 9+ years of experience in production. I have extensive experience in managing projects end-to-end, from concept development, scriptwriting, creative direction, production, and post-production across broadcast TV, digital, social, and branded content. I move seamlessly from big-picture ideas to final delivery.

Across my roles, I’ve led creative teams, edited and managed projects, collaborated closely with designers, marketing teams, and agencies to strengthen brand storytelling. Whether developing multi-platform campaigns, writing and directing original screen projects, or supervising editing workflows, I bring a producer’s brain, an editor’s eye, and a storyteller’s instinct to every brief.
