Can I tell you a story?

I’m an award-winning (AIB, INMA and Lovie winning, RTS-nominated) film maker and journalist, working across documentaries and branded content.

When you work with me, you’re guaranteed to get meaningful collaboration, great writing and insightful interviews,

I direct films that tell intimate, human stories for brands like The Economist and Bloomberg Originals, and also work as a longform edit producer, where I bring a strong narrative understanding and director’s eye to the edit.

For brands, I am a copywriter and producer, helping to bring stories to life for tech and financial clients including Google and Citi.

What unites my work is a a passion for good storytelling whether in text, audio or onscreen.
