About

I am a Post-Production Specialist and Colourisation Artist with a background in modernising legacy media, notably for the BBC’s Doctor Who franchise. I design hybrid AI–manual workflows —utilising EbSynth and the Adobe Creative Cloud— to solve complex visual challenges in video and film.

I am a detail-oriented creative technician who delivers high-fidelity assets for global distribution, combining traditional compositing skills with emerging AI technologies. I enjoy collaborating with restoration and editorial teams to maintain visual continuity and historical accuracy.
