About

I’m a film maker; directing, editing, and animating moving image.

I’ve had the privilege of working with lots of great people over the years, with many of the top agencies, creating films for brands in all corners of the world, and winning a few awards along the way.

I began my career as a motion graphic designer in the mid noughties. It was the catalyst that started my evolution into film making and directing. The family Handicam was often a creative outlet when I was a kid, but I was drawn to graphic design in the late 90s/early 00s because I’d always excelled in fine art at school. In the year 2000 I discovered After Effects. Initially for me it was a tool to make graphic design move, but I soon realised I could add photos, videos and music and manipulate them with graphics…et voila, the journey began!

I’ve somehow managed to balance creative ulfilment with making a living and raising a family (although I’m not always successful at this!). I’m not unique in that sense, but I feel lucky and privileged to do what I do.
