My Story

My passion for video started young - capturing family holidays, making ridiculous skits with my mates, and falling in love with the magic of storytelling through a lens. That passion turned into purpose when I graduated from Leeds Metropolitan University in 2012 and set out to turn what I loved most into a career.

​

I grabbed every opportunity I could - often working for free - collaborating with production companies, businesses, and musicians to learn the ropes, build experience across every corner of the production process, and craft a killer showreel. The more I honed my craft, the more doors opened. I’ve been lucky enough to work with brands and organisations of all shapes and sizes, travel the world, and tell a diverse range of stories in my own creative style.

​

In 2016, I joined The Brain Tumour Charity as their in-house video producer - an incredibly rewarding chapter. I had the privilege of filming and interviewing some of the bravest, most honest individuals as they navigated life-altering diagnoses. The creative freedom I was given there encouraged me to think differently, trust my instincts, and develop a bold, human-centred approach to filmmaking.

​

After that, I joined TEAM LEWIS, a global creative agency, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with an impressive range of B2B and B2C clients - including Google, Petronas, Kick It Out, and OKX - producing video content for digital campaigns, out-of-home activations, and broadcast television. Over time, I was promoted to Head of Film, where I now lead and manage a talented team of filmmakers, guiding creative direction, overseeing production workflows, and ensuring every project hits the mark both creatively and strategically. Alongside growing the team’s capabilities, I’ve gained a wider understanding of how video fits into broader marketing, PR, and digital strategies—making me a more versatile, strategic creative.
