What I'm looking for

I’m seeking remote-first video production leadership where I can own end-to-end delivery, run post-production QC, and collaborate with stakeholders—using disciplined AI-assisted workflows for scalable, brand-safe content, with occasional London on-site work.

I’m an internationally awarded independent filmmaker and multimedia producer with 20+ years across video production, post-production, cinematic storytelling, and institutional communication. For 14+ years at the United Nations Global Service Centre (UNGSC), I built the video/photo production workflow from scratch and continue to lead end-to-end video production with strong stakeholder alignment, delivery discipline, and post-production quality control (QC).

I’m hands-on across shoots, editing, motion graphics, sound, color, final export, and multi-platform adaptation—translating complex operational and technical subjects into clear visual narratives. My current approach combines traditional filmmaking discipline with structured AI-assisted workflows (for concepting, storyboards, controlled iteration, repurposing, and production scaling), delivered through remote review and collaborative feedback cycles.
