About
I'm a moving image creative and creator. I build and lead creative production teams as a producer, creative director, as well as a hands-on filmmaker throughout the production process; writing, directing, shooting and editing. I am an independent video producer and I mostly work on commercial, corporate and documentary projects. I have worked in and around creative agencies for my whole career since starting out as a freelancer in 2007, then onto co-running the boutique creative shop Creative Cherry from 2011 - 2015. Cherry was acquired by London’s leading creative-tech agency Manifesto Digital early in 2016, where I spent three years leading the motion content offering. I've had the opportunity to work on some wonderful projects in collaboration with wonderful people, producing work I'm very proud of. Work that has won many awards including The Drum RAR award for Digital Animation, the Acquia Engage award for digital campaign for Parkinson's UK and a Telly Award for Unicef - A Child's Tale.

Parkinson's UK - We Won't Wait
I worked with Parkinson's UK to deliver the award-winning digital campaign, We Won't Wait. To mark 200 years since the discovery of the condition, Parkinson's UK wanted a campaign that drove mass awareness and donations. I directed and produced the campaign films that aired across social, driving people to the campaign microsite to discover more.

Citroen DS3 - Digital Campaign
I was commissioned by media agency OMD UK to produce and direct the campaign content to introduce the new, limited edition DS Givenchy Le MakeUp. Targeted at 16-25-year-old females, the campaign was fronted by influencer and model Ruth Crilly. We brought the new car into a white cyc studio and Ruth gave a ‘tutorial’ of its fashion-inspired features.

My Accountant Friend - Tax Return Deadline Day - Ad
Not only is 31st January deadline day of the winter transfer window, but it’s also deadline day for the nation’s self-employed to submit their tax returns. By leveraging Jim White's celebrity for English football transfer deadline day, the ad for #TaxReturnDeadlineDay exploded across the web on 1st February (the morning after) targeted at those that most feel the pain of doing their taxes.
