I’m a commercially minded creative editor, finishing editor and colourist with more than 20 years’ experience in post-production. I help productions move from edit to delivery with creative judgement, technical accuracy and a calm, collaborative approach. Over more than two decades in post-production, I’ve built a strong track record delivering high-end programmes for leading broadcasters and platforms including the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Discovery, National Geographic and Hulu. Working mainly in Avid Symphony, DaVinci Resolve and Baselight, I have 200+ credits across a wide range of formats, styles and genres, including long- and short-form documentaries, drama docs, scripted and non-scripted programming, features and sitcoms. I combine technical precision, creative judgement and a collaborative approach to shape material into polished, high-quality programmes. My finishing experience covers colour grading, technical fixes, caption and credit creation, blurring, paint-outs, VFX insertion and picture legalisation. I’m calm under pressure, clear with expectations and focused on creating an enjoyable, collaborative environment where clients feel confident the work is in safe hands.
