About
AVAILABLE NOW
West Midlands-based Filmmaking graduate with a strong ambition to work in the art and prop department. However, I’m eager to gain experience in any area that supports my development in the film and TV industry.
I have taken on multiple roles in short film productions, including screenwriter, director, producer, editor, cinematographer, boom operator, sound artist, and colourist. While I’ve worn many hats, I often find myself drawn to cinematography and editing, particularly in smaller productions.
From 2010 to 2015, I participated in Shakespeare’s School Festival, which gave me hands-on experience with stage performance. Alongside acting, I also assisted with lighting and set design, sparking my interest in the technical aspects of production.
During university, I contributed to a ‘History of Fashion’ segment, deepening my love for costume design, set design, and research/contextualisation. I have a strong passion for knitting, crocheting, and model-making, which has strengthened my attention to detail and time management—both essential skills in prop and costume work. My ultimate dream is to design and create costumes for film.
Beyond filmmaking, I love the outdoors—camping, hiking, and rock climbing/bouldering are some of my favourite activities. Photography is another passion of mine, and I’ve spent countless hours capturing landscapes. While proficient in Canon cameras, I recently switched to a Fujifilm X-T3 for personal projects.
Following university, I worked as a duty manager in hospitality, thriving in fast-paced environments that required multi-tasking, problem-solving, and leadership. This role sharpened my skills in team and customer management, conflict resolution, cash handling, event coordination, and, of course, crafting some unique (but enjoyable) drinks.
I’m excited to bring my creativity, adaptability, and enthusiasm to the film and TV industry.

Experience
-
Runner/Artist Liaison
TNL's Big Night of Musicals - BBC I was an Artist Liaison for the orchestra, house band and backing vocalists. Between managing a large group of 30+ people and sticking to an incredibly tight schedule, there was never a boring moment. Time management was an exceptionally important skill to utilise, along with communication. Any delays in the schedule were noted and referenced further down the timetable, to accurately perceive needs.
