My work for Exeposé led me to a job in print and digital design. From there, I trained up in UX (user experience / web) design following a part-time online course. I then got a job as a UX designer for a financial services company, and have now moved to doing a similar role for the British Film Institute – working most recently on a redesigned cinemas ticketing website among others. The job is great for problem solvers, especially those who combine creativity and logic. There’s lots of psychology involved, as well as a skill at diplomatically working with stakeholders. And then it helps to have strong empathy for people who might use the websites you build.

6 years experience in unscripted television before my teaching career, and currently tutoring children on film sets and working as a supporting artist in Film/TV.

Produced & directed films for outlets including BBC Three, BBC News, BBC Children In Need, BBC Earth, The Telegraph, and the House of Commons.

As passionate about digital formats as I am about documentaries, I’ve worked on everything from 30-second TikToks to 30-minute current affairs programmes.

With over a decade of experience across TV, journalism, documentary, branded, and short-form content, my drive lies in telling impactful human stories – no matter the platform.
