About

I’m a film and image arts professional specialising in video editing, animation, VFX and post-production workflows. I’m experienced in everything from ingesting and organising footage to colour, motion graphics, VFX, sound mixing coordination, and mastering deliverables to specification.

I enjoy working closely with clients, leading edit sessions, and building strong relationships to shape creative storylines, scripts and motion graphics into polished final products—while maintaining strong quality control and reliable archive processes.
