About

I’m a Welsh-born filmmaker and multi-skilled producer/editor/cinematographer with over a decade of hands-on experience in making short films, music videos, and documentary content. I enjoy directing and shaping visual storytelling from concept to delivery, and I thrive in collaborative environments where I can wear multiple hats and help projects reach their creative goals. I’ve won several awards for my shorts and have a background supporting productions in a variety of crew roles, from casting and camera to post-production and administration. I’m always eager to take on new challenges and bring fresh energy to every project.

I bring practical expertise across production, camera, and editing, with a track record of delivering compelling visuals on time and on budget. My approach blends technical proficiency with creative collaboration, and I’m comfortable working in diverse teams or taking the lead on ambitious screen projects.
