A commercials film director with experience on both sides of the fence;

I started as an in-house creative for one of the largest supermarket brands in the UK, followed by 6 years in advertising as a creative strategist before turning to filmmaking and launching a production company in 2019 (hell bent on becoming a commerical film director).

After 5 years of building that business, winning multiple awards, hiring 8 staff and opening a 4,000sqft studio, I decided to sell my half of the company and exit in December 2024.

I'm now freelance and focus fully on writing & directing commercial films for TV, social and OOH campaigns - plus some sexy, scroll-stopping content shoots.

It's a given that I know my lenses and can tell a good story -  but couple that with my unique blend of advertising, commercial and business acumen, and you've got an adaptable director that can support production companies and agencies with budgets of all sizes.
