Message

At Kingfisher PLC / B&Q, I conceptualised and directed branded product advertising and instructional films for the GoodHome brand, taking projects from storyboarding through production and post-production. I also directed a five-person production crew.

As a freelance creative videographer and filmmaker for ESGCT and international clients, I produced conference, interview, event and communications films from brief through final delivery. I directed interviews and worked hands-on with camera, lighting and location sound.

At the Academy of Contemporary Music (ACM), I produced video marketing content alongside my teaching role, shaping it around audience, message and the institution’s creative identity. I also created and led the Higher Diploma in Post Production Sound and authored its curriculum and assessment.

My film practice includes location sound, post-production sound design and original scoring. I received Best Original Score recognition for Finally Nearly Getting There, which also received Best Film recognition, and I hold a CAA A1/A3 drone qualification.
