I'm offering
Spanning over 20 years, 7 creative disciplines, 4 continents and 6 years in academia, my obsession with video, brand and story can be seen in my tireless commitment to the creative industries:
From on-location editing of the multi-billion dollar handshakes that'll save the world from carbon, to motion design for Europe's freshest startups. Posters for the impoverished from a dive bar on the tip of Africa, and short films from Manila Bay on Asian students who are changing transport forever.
I'm in my element pushing boundaries on:
• Narrative and visual style in short branded-films, to multi-platform social and promo video content
• Technical and remote workflows for global creative teams
• The emerging expectations, skill-sets and role of the edit and motion design freelancer
Expect my personal commitment to crafting only the most engaging and innovative of work, delivered on time, on budget, no matter the requirements.

job
Head of Creative
Goldhawk Creative.
United Kingdom
Endeared rather to the creative, logistical and technical challenges than the title, a multi-faceted and furiously dynamic position as Head of Creative
allows me to put into practice the hard and soft skills developed over an
extensive and far-reaching career. Holding the reins on how material for some
of the world's largest brands gets created and delivered, across a handful of international creative professionals, formats and platforms, has proven to be
a perfect fit. From narrowing broad brand ideas into focused briefs; to scripts,
treatments and storyboards that elevate and deliver on the most challenging of brand objectives. Without relinquishing my passion for video creation I ensure I
spend as much time editing, animating and finishing material as I do directing.
Coupled with a (and near-obsessive) fascination with digital media,
marketing and the tech world, these various streams have combined into a
torrent of work that continues to surprise and delight brands of all sizes and requirements.

TRiiiDENT.

During an MA in Digital Media, I had the pleasure of working with numerous
artists, musicians (and a corporate client or two) in the production of music
videos, electronic press kits and advertising for broadcast. My fascination &
years of experience in the music industry proved (and still does) invaluable in informing creative decisions associated with 'mood', 'tone' and rhythm.
