About

I am a Film and Media graduate with First-Class Honours from Newcastle University, with hands-on experience in video editing, mixed media storytelling, and short-form digital content. I specialise in shaping raw footage into clear, engaging visuals, blending cinematic transitions, animated graphics, and sound design to tell stories that feel intelligent, human, and alive.

With a background in documentary and branded content, I’m comfortable translating complex ideas into accessible, visually cohesive pieces. I love experimenting with pacing, tone, and texture to keep viewers hooked — whether the subject is social storytelling, creative marketing, or asset management made visually engaging.
