STRATEGIC CREATIVE
Creative Director and Filmmaker with 13+ years’ international experience delivering commercial, documentary and branded campaigns. I lead projects end-to-end, from concept and pitching through to direction, production, final delivery and distribution.
As a founder of an independent production studio, I have delivered international campaigns for global brands, including Apple, Jeep and Hilton. I develop creative strategies and lead execution across film, photography and digital content - spanning social, paid media, TV and OOH. I have independently managed budgets up to £50K and directed campaigns reaching over 70 million viewers.
Experience working across five continents, with a background spanning agency, in-house and independent environments.
I am currently developing a world-first science documentary on whale sharks in Arabia, with global distribution discussions underway and an upcoming feature in National Geographic.
Alongside directing, I write children’s fiction (currently seeking publication) and have worked as on-screen talent in international commercial campaigns.
