About me

I'm a double-Emmy Award winning Producer-Director with over 25-years in the film and television industry.

I've been at the creative helm of a diverse range of broadcast television, and commercials, brand films and branded content, including projects for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Paramount+, National Geographic, NBC, Scottish Screen and the UK Film Council.

I've directed commercials and branded content for some of the world's most iconic brands including: Amazon · Bacardi · Barclays · Birmingham International Airport · Chevrolet · Continental Tyres Etihad Airways · Emirates Airlines · GM · The FA Ladbrokes · Goodyear · Jumeirah Group · Nivea Panasonic · P&G Qatar Airways · Sega · Sony · Umbro

Recent broadcast credits include the primetime documentaries 'Who Killed Billie-Jo' for Paramount+ and C5, 'Babes in the Wood' with Sir Trevor McDonald for ITV1, 'Made in the UAE" for National Geographic and 'What Really Happened to Lynda Spence' for C5. I was also consulting producer on 'Willem & Frieda' with Stephen Fry, for C4 (TX: March 2023).

I am creatively motivated but also highly organised with a wealth of industry connections across multiple disciplines and territories.
Alongside projects throughout the UK I've also worked extensively overseas, firmly believing that with an outsider's eye one can view things afresh and turn the everyday into something remarkable on screen. This approach has garnered numerous awards and has taken me from Dubai to the Arctic making films that get noticed, ever mindful of budgets, deadlines and client expectations and always with an uncompromising attention to detail.
