My journey in filming and editing started with simple personal projects when I was young, and over the years it’s evolved into a genuine passion and professional practice. Most recently, I worked at London Filmed as an Assistant Video Producer – there I had the opportunity to film and edit ads, events, interviews, social campaigns, and livestreams. I was also responsible for organising call sheets, coordinating crews, and acting as the main point of contact for clients. This role really boosted my confidence handling multi-camera setups (including the Sony FX3, FX6, FS7, and FX9) and taught me to adapt seamlessly between live broadcasts and traditional filming environments.

Before that, I stepped into a Junior Video Producer role at London Filmed, where I refined my camera work and editing skills while learning the importance of teamwork on set. I also spent a couple of years freelancing as a Production Assistant on music videos, commercials, and other creative projects. These experiences taught me how to keep productions running smoothly and deliver results that perfectly match a client’s vision.

I honed my craft at The BRIT School, studying Film & Media Production over four years. I dabbled in directing, scriptwriting, camera operation, and editing, collaborating with fellow creatives on short films and multi-camera live broadcasts. This well-rounded experience laid a solid foundation for my career, and I even graduated with a Distinction.

Now based in Auckland, I hold dual UK and New Zealand citizenship – which means I’m all set to live and work in both countries, as well as in Australia. With a full driving licence in hand, I can easily travel for location shoots and adapt to different production setups.

I always keep my toolkit ready to roll – it includes a Sony FX3, a Sony GM 24-70mm lens, a gimbal, a shoulder rig, and professional sound equipment to ensure crisp visuals and clear audio.

At the end of the day, I’m all about learning, collaborating, and making every project the best it can be. If you’re looking for someone reliable, creative, and cost-effective to help bring your vision to life, I’d love to have a chat.
