About

Series producer, director and edit producer.

I make factual and documentary series and singles for UK broadcasters and global streamers, and I’m known for delivering ambitious projects within tight budgets and schedules.

Editorially, I shape series narrative and tone, storyboard and write scripts, and have significant edit experience across multi and single episode arcs. On location, I direct crews and self-shoot.

I manage and mentor teams, stay calm under pressure, and have plenty of fast-turnaround experience. Much of my work involves sensitive contributors and high-stakes institutions, so legal and compliance oversight and broadcaster liaison are second nature.

My work has won BAFTA, RTS and Broadcast Awards, and been shortlisted for a Grierson.
