I have filmed, edited and motion designed for major brands and companies like Shell, Slush Puppie and BBC. I was the editor for BBC 'Top of the Pop's Big Hits'. I was also the videographer on BBC 2' hit show, 'Later with Jools Holland'.
I have worked on popular TV commercials, TV shows, short films, documentaries and music videos.
What sets me apart from the rest; I have years of deep rooted experience knowledge and understanding in the video production process, from start to finish. I can produce a video from the development stage, to directing, videography all the way through to post production.

I have also produced, directed and edited a variety of television shows from Factual Entertainment, Game Shows and Live Multi-camera studio shows.
With a background in Creative Advertising and a musical background, my work is driven by rhythm, tempo and abstract visuals. Cutting to the beat is my unique style everyone raves about.
Aside my technical abilities I approach every project with a creative directors mindset.
My work is known to be highly visual, clean, vibrant, polished and creative.
