Available to hire
I come from a background of Irish tales and have authored a Balkan Noir series, along with creating new video narratives in Barcelona.
As an innovative Video Director & Narrative Lead, I thrive on creative collaborations and have co-shipped videos, animations, games, audio stories, podcasts, and quests across various digital platforms. I’ve published seven novels and two serialized works as a crime fiction author.
I’ve lived in diverse places including Serbia, Japan, Mexico, Italy, and The Netherlands, and now call Barcelona my home. I am a native English speaker with an Irish passport and enjoy working with audio-visual teams to craft fresh narrative experiences. You can watch my recent video stories over at Diigima.
