About me

Film, documentary and video editor with credits on shorts, features, documentaries, branded content and music videos. Working from West London, I operate a MacBook Pro with Premiere, Resolve and Final Cut Pro. On top of a creative passion for entertainment and media, I possess key communicative and collaborative skills, along with time and project management efficiency.

Being a storytelling editor focused on putting together engaging videos, I've worked a lot on talking-heads. Documentaries I've edited, like 'Sparkling: The Story of Champagne', 'Quintessentially British' and 'Quintessentially Irish' are available to rent on streaming platforms Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Google Play and YouTube. They feature names like Pierce Brosnan, Ian McKellen, Judi Dench, Jeremy Irons, Jessie Buckley, Prince Albert II of Monaco and Stephen Fry.

I edited behind the scenes mini-features for 'Killing Eve', 'The Durrells', 'Us' and Sam Smith, enlightening respective fans worldwide. I'm delighted with a short documentary I cut, 'Tanagokoro: A Culinary Portrait', which received a positive reception on the film festival circuit in North America. I also assembled the documentary segments of 'Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets' concert movie.

In addition to editing branded content for Adidas, Apple, Bonmarché, Dell, Jamf, McDonald’s, Monster, Panasonic, Randstad and Sky, I have a desire and eye for working on fiction. My first big project was feature drama 'Sable Fable', which tells the story of four couples as they explore the psychology of love, sex and race. 'Sable Fable' won Best Director and Best Narrative Feature Grand Jury Prizes at the American Black Film Festival - awards which were presented to director Stephen Lloyd Jackson by legend Spike Lee in Miami. I've continued to work with Stephen on subsequent feature-length projects on the making of 'Sable Fable' and the re-envisioning of his film 'Rulers and Dealers'. I've also edited short film 'Breach', starring Joely Richardson.
