After completing an HND in Broadcast Engineering at Ravensbourne College of Art and Design I worked initially in TV broadcasting.  I then worked in postproduction facilities in London, editing commercials, music promos, TV idents and title sequences before becoming a specialist in visual effects. 

​

I was awarded an MA with distinction in Digital Documentary from Sussex University in 2014.  Alongside my visual effects work I undertake commissions for documentaries, promotional films and photography, mainly for not-for-profit organisations.
