I edit video for narrative shorts, events, trailers, explainers, and many more.
I'm good at working under pressure and to tight deadlines.
I make clear, structured edit files which are easy to hand over and good for collaboration.
My post-production skills and software proficiencies include:
In 2023 I worked as an editor for Window Zebra Media and was part of the team editing Red Carpet footage from London Film Festival for the BFI YouTube channel.
One of the main videos I worked on was for the premiere of One Life.
I was the editor for Sky Cinema's reveal video for the Surprise Film at London Film Festival 2023.
Because it was a surprise, I had to receive and ingest the footage, edit and caption the clip, and then export and deliver to social media before the film had finished playing!
Watch the clip on YouTube, or watch the extended interview with Michael Mann which I edited the same night.
Circus Piddly is the "UK's smallest tented circus" - I produced and edited trailers and additional video content for their 2025 tour around the South of England.
I also produced the posters for the show the previous year.
RETCH is a short film directed by Keir Siewart. I did VFX to augment the practical monster effects.
I've done so much different work that it's hard to fit it all in -- so here are some other things I haven't been able to include otherwise.
I've been drawing as long as I can remember, and making films as soon as I could get my hands on a camera.
I got into technical theatre at university, and learned the software for video design and projection mapping during lockdown.
I'm self-taught when it comes to coding and software development.
I now work as a freelance artist, filmmaker, and designer.
I'm a generalist and have a wide skillset, including:
I have a BA in Philosophy and Linguistics (graduated 2021).
I studied film with the BFI FutureFilm Academy (2017) and was on the BAFTA Mentorship programme (2018).
I studied facilitation with the National Theatre Learning Department.
I have a Level 2 Certificate in British Sign language, and am currently studying Level 3.
While at school I took classes in cartooning and comic book art from HuwJ Matsumura.
I'm interested in stories: film, theatre, prose, music, journalism, anything with narrative.
I like working on projects which embrace and champion accessibility -- I've worked on projects with Deaf artists, learning-disabled artists, and artists with limb differences.
I'm interested in minority languages -- I've started curating film screenings of films in British/Celtic minority languages.
I love movies -- my favourite filmmaker is Buster Keaton.
I studied analytic philosophy at university, and am particularly interested in metaphysics and logic. I wrote my thesis on time travel.
I play bass guitar and occasionally write songs. I play basketball (badly) and am taking gymnastics/tricking classes.
