I am a seasoned filmmaker with over fifteen years of experience primarily as an editor, videographer and director. My most recent work has been with Woolworths TASTE and Pick ’n Pay, shooting and editing food videos for social media and in-store promotions nationwide. I also create educational content for an international online music academy. I have produced, directed, filmed and edited over 100 music videos, and have worked on live events and weddings. In the past I have been a DIT/Data Wrangler and have done BTS for feature films, TV productions and commercials. I combine technical skill, a musical ear and an eye for aesthetics to bring creative visions to life, often in collaboration with others. In my spare time I dabble in outdoor film photography, writing and DJing.
