About Me

I trained as a print journalist, before discovering filmmaking when I was handed a battered Z1 nearly 17 years ago.

Since then I’ve filmed all over the world: from documenting child labour in Bolivian silver mines; to meeting women widowed by war in Afghanistan.

I was a producer at the BBC for seven years, where I worked across current affairs from CBBC Newsround to Panorama, before going freelance.

I now specialise in digital storytelling. I recently spent four years with The Economist’s BAFTA award-winning film team, where I helped pioneer their film-led multimedia journalism.

Alongside journalism I have also led corporate and branded projects as a Series and Exec Producer.
