I'm a British-American filmmaker, composer, and creative strategist based in London. Over the past decade I've written 12 feature screenplays (repped by Sandstone Artists), directed and scored numerous shorts and one feature, and became Hollywood's youngest associate producer at 23 by transforming previously undiscovered Ted Bundy interview tapes into a ten-episode Peacock true-crime show. Along the way I've supported Billie Eilish, Katseye, Kevin Hart, and Chris Hemsworth on various unscripted projects, and worked alongside Oscar-nominated producers at FilmNation and Blumhouse on scripted development. One of my proudest moments was partnering with a major influencer to spearhead a social media campaign to crowdfund a film from an audience of 13 million followers. Most recently, my Cambridge MBA broadened my strategy consulting horizons. I advised deep-tech startups in England and NGOs in East Africa, and more recently explored the ethics and implications of AI through paid work training clients' frontier models. I now help founders, brands, and creative teams optimize their storytelling strategy for today's dynamic content landscape. If that sounds like you, I'd love to connect.
