About

I am a London-based film composer with experience creating music for more than 50 short films, animations and media projects. I enjoy collaborating with film schools, creative partners, directors and artists to develop distinctive scores, and I have recorded with ensembles including the London Symphony Orchestra, Guildhall Session Orchestra, choirs and jazz bands.

My work has been performed and broadcast across galleries, theatres, festivals and radio, including the National Gallery, Barbican, BBC Radio 3 and the London International Animation Festival. I bring strong skills in composition, orchestration, music theory and audio production, and I am comfortable working across orchestral, electronic and produced music.
