For me, editing is not just a technical process; it's a profound engagement with the heart and soul of the narrative. I believe in the power of storytelling.
Collaboration is the heartbeat of creativity. I take pride in cultivating close relationships with my fellow team members throughout the entire filmmaking process and positioning myself as a reliable ally to the film director. Within my edit suite, my focus lies on understanding their vision and finding the rhythm and emotional core of their precious story.
I edit narrative films and documentaries, with experience across a diverse range of projects. One of my proudest achievements is editing Rock Paper Scissors, a short film based on the true story of a father and son running a small hospital on the frontline in Ukraine. The film won the 2025 BAFTA for Best British Short Film.
My recent work includes The Trial, a debut feature by Jack Parr (Dark Matter Studios, Film Forge), and the BFI-backed shorts Daddy’s Girl and The Easy Way Out. I’m currently editing a collective feature with bobadibob films.
I have a dedicated edit suite in London, running a mac based set up for Avid and Adobe. I also have a portable laptop based set up to work remote or on location.
