About me

4 years' experience as a freelance Writer, Producer and Art Director for online film and video content, with a passion for finding creative solutions to logistical challenges and a set of highly transferable practical and visual skills.

Since graduating in 2013 with a 1st in Film Production, I have worked on a number of narrative shorts, a web series commissioned by Vimeo On Demand, and internet campaigns for clients including Google, Kellogg’s, and BlackBerry and Vimeo. In this capacity I have helped to oversee the creative and logistical development of projects from start to finish: developing scripts; managing complex and varied production budgets and schedules; sourcing and managing locations, talent, set builds, props and wardrobe; developing visual design; and on occasion assisting with sound, editing and final delivery.

Additional information:
In 2015 co-produced, wrote & created 6-part miniseries “Oscar's Hotel for Fantastical Creatures” commissioned by Vimeo On Demand. Made in LA with digital company New Form Digital and in partnership with the Jim Henson Creature Shop, and a diverse range of acting talent ranging from internet personalities to traditional actors including Sir Patrick Stewart and Elliott Gould.

Used to working on projects with strict constraints on time and money, requiring creative thinking and problem solving under high levels of stress. I am a keen communicator, comfortable both working alone and in a team, happy to take charge when necessary or give input on decisions that have far-reaching implications for production logistics. I have experience of public speaking, having participated in talk panels to audiences of aspiring filmmakers and Youtube fans at Buffer Festival in Toronto and Summer In The City in London.
