    Profile
    I’m dedicated, innovative and passionate about the ideas I implement. My main aim is produce work that gets an audience reaction and sparks imagination. I feel that working along side people who share similar passions as I do increases my creativity. I have experience in every aspect of digital media from production and direction to camera operation and editing. I use my creativity to inject something new and original to every project I undertake. Resourcefulness and creativity are two of my most valued possessions.
    I also understand that personality goes a long way when working closely with other people and think that my calm motivated outlook will aid me in any work I embark on.
