As a multidisciplinary creative based between London and Milton Keynes, my work moves across cinema, immersive installation, photography, graphic design, and sound. Whether building dystopian worlds, writing grounded dialogue, or experimenting with analogue glitch processes, I’m drawn to narrative that feels tactile. I spend most of my time making things: films, designs, music, websites, essays, scripts — usually all at once. I like to be involved in the full creative process, from script to direction to edit and post-production. Having worked as Creative Director for Desktop Studios, Graphic Designer for Conceptheatre, and Lead Guitarist and Art Director for Majesterium, I continue to freelance across disciplines, from photography, cinematography, and editing, to contemporary installation, social campaigns, and brand concepts. I hold a First Class BA (Hons) in Contemporary Media Practice from the University of Westminster. Recent work includes the 11-minute short film ‘Sunspots’, alongside mixed-reality and multi-screen productions such as ‘Hell is Other People’, produced through Desktop Studios.
