Coming from England, I started out my career through the indie film route; which specifically was done in my roles as a storyboard artist and cinematographer. This later saw me evolved into the director that I am today. Since the summer of 2015 I have based myself in Vietnam where I have been working throughout South East Asia as a director, which has seen me working on a mix of commercials, viral videos, documentaries and short films. It is from there where I also won Best Documentary Feature Film for 'Take Me Home'; which was granted by the Sydney World Film Festival. It is my intention to continue this rich vein of inspiration that Vietnam affords me. I endeavour to work with like-minded people and will continue to pursue my job and passion as a director and filmmaker.

I work as a 2D and 3D designer and am based in Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City. With 13 years of professional experience in a variety of organizations, from clients to agencies. My areas of competence include graphic design, 3D design (including both creative direction and art direction), and brand design. When it comes to branding, my team and I—which often consists of an account manager, a designer, a marketer, and a copywriter—start by developing the brand strategy. To determine the brand's development strategy, we conduct market research, founder interview segments, brand audits, and brand platform workshops. Then, based on the requirements of our customers, we begin to work on the area of brand identity, which includes visual application, brand voice, and other elements. As a typical part of my job as a creative director, I oversaw the entire process and spoke with our customers about our idea and their company. From the art direction proposal to the production stage, I use 3D to develop product 3D animation for my client. My main softwares are Cinema4D and Octane render engine. I am the main editorial designer for Bloomberg Businessweek Vietnam. My primary duty is to ensure that the magazine production process runs well. In addition, I coordinated with our freelancer sources to have them submit artwork for our magazine depending on particular topics.

I am a freelance journalist based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I specialises in reporting, producing, filming and editing for news and TV programs. I also work on travel articles, photography and scriptwriter for TV show as well. I produced a video documentary "Living on the song" is about the challenges of buskers in London and Birmingham when they perform outsides. I spent 3 months to meet buskers and film them in London and Birmingham, and edit this video. This project brought me to have a great chance to chat with amazing buskers in London Underground, and understood how difficult to get busking license or pitch to perform at the Tube. I really appreciate their work. The street musicians are making our cities in the world more interesting in someway. Hence, I wanna produce a documentary about the life of buskers around the world and some arts, lifestyle stories as well.
