About
I’m a video editor and filmmaker with a BA (Hons) in Filmmaking and professional experience creating, filming and editing commercial and social video campaigns. I’ve worked with brands including Uniqlo, easyJet and Premier Inn, managing projects from early creative concepts and storyboards through filming, editing and final delivery. I enjoy combining strong visual storytelling with practical production skills to create engaging content for different audiences and platforms.
I’ve also built experience across short films, music videos and commercial productions, working as a director of photography, cinematographer and camera operator. I’m confident with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, DaVinci Resolve and Lightroom, and I enjoy collaborating with actors, talent, crew and clients to bring ideas to life from the first concept through to the finished film.
