Inspired by film and culture and with a degree in Journalism, I became a video professional in 2010. I have produced engaging video content - both editorial and adverts - livestreams and podcasts for digital media across the mediums of film, television and video games, managed complex shoots to strict timelines and worked on branded content, features, and editorial. I’ve worked in studios and on location on 3 different continents for major international brands, and I’ve brought my passion for digital media and well-crafted entertainment with me wherever I've been.
