Executive Producer · Director · Creative Director · Investigative Storyteller

I build stories that move.
Rooted in documentary filmmaking and investigative journalism, I build stories, brands and visual worlds across film, photography and live experience.
Investigative practice taught me to start with the question beneath the obvious one. That instinct shapes how I develop material, how I direct, and how I lead teams: interrogate the premise, find what is actually true, then build the creative world that lets an audience feel it.
I have written, directed and narrated authored documentary, worked across flagship broadcast television, and led brand identity, photography, digital experience and national youth storytelling programmes. Across all of it the job is consistent: find what matters, assemble the right people, make the idea clear and build something audiences can act on.
Now I work between New York and London on original projects, senior creative leadership engagements and advisory work with teams building ambitious stories.

On set, in the room, in the edit.
Senior creative responsibility is earned in the work: development choices, casting and contributor trust, production discipline, and the edit where the story finally decides what it is.
