info
From cutting action trailers... to corporate video, my approach is always the same - to deliver the most effective message.
Having worked as a director, video editor and camera operator - collaborating with many creative agencies, clients, and producers - I'm always keen to explore and discover new ways to communicate using modern media.
My technical expertise is extensive and adapts with ease to ever-changing environments.
