I suppose this is where people expect a series of buzzwords describing me and my work. Agile, highly motivated, creative. I am, of course, all of those things. But instead, I want to emphasise elements that are often overlooked in this space. Elements surrounding story, character, emotion, and surprise.  Without a good story, character and emotion, there is no surprise. And without surprise, the challenge of encouraging your audience to care and watch your material becomes even more difficult.
I am a videographer, film editor and licensed drone pilot based in Melbourne, Australia with a goal of shaping all of my work, no matter the type of content, around these three pillars: story, character, and emotion. My training began in 2018, where I specialised in documentary filmmaking working with BBC Wales. Afterwards, I moved to Brussels, where I worked I worked with bodies that include the European Commission, Delvaux, Moët & Chandon, and the Luxembourg embassy, handling all aspects of filming, from story creation to filming and editing. 
I am now based in Melbourne, Australia, and have recently edited and colour graded the short film 2020 Vision, which won the 2025 People’s Choice Award at the Brisbane Short Film Festival. 
Okay, now I've told you a bit of my story, now let me help you tell yours.
