At Foxford, I designed and delivered Flipped Classroom: 4,500 lesson videos across six parallel remote units. I hired and built the team from zero, owned technical, quality, and process decisions, and completed the work in eight months against an 18-month plan.

I also led the creative direction and production of Career Guidance Course 2025, from concept and visual language through filming and delivery. It reached 167K users with 95% completion and no revision rounds on V1.

Since 2022, I’ve integrated generative AI tools into live production workflows, cutting delivery time 40% and costs 30%. I’ve also grown my department from 7 to 27 people and built production systems that help teams scale while maintaining quality.
