About

I’m a concept-driven producer and creative professional who researches, writes, and produces short and long-form films for social media, especially YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Great Big Story. I take projects from concept to delivery and I’m hands-on throughout the production process. I’ve collaborated with BBC, Great Big Story, CNN Create Studio, LEGO, MarlowFilm, and Media Zoo to make films that engage audiences. I’m seeking a strong team for a full-time contract or freelance role, delivering fast, premium content across fashion, beauty, and retail while pushing storytelling in new directions.
