I'm a very experienced, disabled, Self-shooting Producer / Director with over a decade of experience working with some big names (e.g. Adidas, Netflix, Channel 4, Sony, Heart, Capital FM) within the world of branded content. In 2022 I made the move to working on TV and I'm always looking for new opportunities .

I am experienced on all commonly used cameras (FS7, FX3/6/9 etc etc) shooting on both primes and zooms. I have qualifications and experience in working with vulnerable contributors..

I have cerebral palsy which affects my right arm and leg. However, I always like to point out it doesn't affect my abilities to film.
