Director

While growing up, I often switched between drawing cartoons, playing instruments, or building various creations with cardboard and lots of tape. It was only when I picked up a video camera to make my first short film that I realised I’d found my new and favourite interest.

I currently live in Brighton and have found that working for myself allows me to combine all of my work-related interests – film, music, and analytical writing. When I'm not working, I try to spend as much time hiking, rewatching British comedy series, playing badminton and having barbecues in the park.
