SUMMARY: Organised, resourceful,and creative Show Runner, Series Producer, Series Editor and occasional PD with superb leadership and editorial skills, successfully able to create and improve formats, inspire and run teams from pre-production through to post and get the best out of contributors and stories.
I make warm, witty, engaging, intelligent and creative content and series, whether filmed in studios, on location, or high profile cultural venues. For example, most recently:
- Documentary The Winning Commission: Portrait Artist of the Year, featuring Professor Hannah Fry;
- The Sky Arts Awards 2024 presented by Joe Lycett, filmed at Roundhouse and nominated for a Broadcast Digital Award in 2025;
- Two series and a Christmas special of the factual entertainment travel documentary series 'Painting Birds with Jim and Nancy Moir,' filmed around the UK and nominated for a Broadcast Digital award in 2024. NB Jim Moir is the artist formerly known as Vic Reeves.

RANGE:My versatility and passion means I am able to take on complex challenges, manage multiple stakeholders, problem solve and draw on a bulging contact list.
I always exceed expectations, whether working on scripted bilingual complicated and ambitious location shoots that involve children and various internationalsites; capturing 50 arts projects across the UK in 3 festivals; or spearheading a brand new award ceremony for Sky Arts, featuring 14 categories, a playful new presenter in the form of Joe Lycett and cross genre performances in dance, pop music, poetry and classical music including The Three Sopranos, Ren, Boy Blue, Slash and Brian Johnson, The Darkness, The Kanneh-Mason family and Sophia Thakur.

But I also revel in being able to find, and tell, intimate and complex narrative stories, that deal with people's insecurities, dreams, nightmares and emotional rollercoasters, such as the winner's films for both Landscape and Portrait Artist of the Year, or The Battle to Beat Polio.
