I strive to create evocative, resonant and beautifully crafted films that have strong narrative and high-production values. I am passionate about how we use the language of film to connect with each other. For me, film is matched only by reality in its ability to arouse the senses.
I am a London-based director and creative producer.
I also offer an end-to-end production service.
My expertise comes from years working with leading names to the smallest artisan studios, but mostly from listening to, and observing people. I achieve creative outcomes effectively by working closely with clients to develop and create the essence of their project to tell their story properly.
I'm curious to find the heart of every subject, to engage, to provoke thought and action, and to connect.
My background:
After a brief spell at art college I studied film, scriptwriting and producing. Whilst in my final year, I worked in Sydney on music promos and commercials, then on a year-long documentary for the BBC Picture This series operating the time-lapse camera on an island cut off by the tide twice a day. I was granted an Arts Council award to make a short film, and after, I led production of broadcast documentaries, music shows and dramas. For over a decade I took a step back from full-time work to raise my three children, and six years ago I returned to directing, creating producing and writing.
I have worked with the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Five, NHK, Sky, Discovery, History, Science, Nickelodeon. My recent clients include: Accenture, HP, Amazon, Shell, Amex, Natwest, Qatar Airways, Nissan, Kenwood, ARUP, Kellogg’s, Topman, TOG, Oust, Dylon, Jeyes, Huma, South Western Railway, Red Sea Global, and many more.
