Since 2012 I have worked across multiple sectors of the industry. I am at home when cutting large scale multi camera music events. But I also have experience editing commercial content for brands like Apple, Amazon, Adidas, Nike, BBH, Mill, Google, Asos and many more.
I have worked for all the major UK broadcasters BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Channel 5 as well as multiple long form shows for broadcasters such as MTV and Sky Arts.
I also hold an MA in animation from the Royal College of Art and my personal animation work has gained international recognition at festivals such as Annecy, London Short Film Festival and many more.
This site holds just a small fraction of the work I've done over the years, as an offline editor most of it disappears into the abyss moments after I send it to Online. But you can view some highlight from my credit list below.
I excel at delivering work in any style, from shaping thousands of hours of footage into a 45-minute broadcast documentary to adhering to strict brand guidelines and scripts to meet client's shortform needs precisely.
