About me

I am a filmmaker with years of experience crafting stories across commercials, documentaries, music videos and branded content. My work has taken me around the world, including two years based in New York and productions across multiple continents, though London remains home when i'm not working from a set, a studio or the nearest airport lounge.

In 2021, I co-founded Figure Film with two close friends, building a creative studio around a shared belief in bold, honest storytelling. Whether developing a campaign, shaping a documentary or creating a music video, I have been drawn to projects with a strong point of view and a story worth telling, regardless of scale or budget.

With a background rooted in editing, I bring a filmmaker's perspective to every stage of production. My understanding of story, rhythm and performance informs the entire creative process, helping ideas evolve from concept to final cut with clarity, instinct and collaboration.
