I'm a highly creative Producer/Director, Series Director, Edit Producer of documentaries, travelogue and high-impact investigative/experiential formats. I've made successful and award-winning films in Arts and History, with a dash of Science, Royal History, Music, Food and Crime -- for the BBC, Channel 4, PBS, Curiosity Stream, Sky Arts/History, ZDF, Channel 5... I love to find fresh narrative angles and to create beautiful, dramatic sequences. Bringing clarity to complex ideas is a speciality. Strong Development skills including photoshop, decks and sizzles. Valid I-Visa. Can be based in Bristol, Cardiff, Plymouth or London, potentially LA.

My current project is Series Producing and Directing a six part celeb-led travelogue, shooting for a month in South Africa.  I took on edits on two episodes of Art authentication ratings-winner Fake or Fortune (BBC1), including directing additional material and overseeing post. My Who Do You Think You Are? with Layton Williams for BBC1 aired in May 2025, a challenging setup including research and filming in Jamaica, resulting in a funny and emotional film. 

I've also completed an ultra-fast-turnaround short film on Martyn's Law for charity Survivors Against Terror - all aspects of production including self-shooting interviews, cutting in Adobe Premiere Pro, and work in After Effects. I've shot second camera and pickups for broadcast and am up for shooting more in future.

I directed the Jack the Ripper episode of Lucy Worsley Investigates which aired early 2025. My 90' feature doc on the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in the Bahamas (Edward & Wallis: the Bahamas Scandals), working with Royal expert Andrew Lownie, went out on Channel 5. I directed the first episode of the series Killing Sherlock for BBC2, and have directed regularly for Fake or Fortune? I made the Disappearance episode of Agatha Christie: Lucy Worsley on the Mystery Queen, and 3 episodes of Ancient Murders Unearthed, shaping this new investigative Crime/Forensic Anthropology/Archaeology format including fight sequences shot on location. I series directed Jay Blades: No Place Like Home - a distinctive new history series for Channel 5.

Other credits include Makeup: A Glamorous History (BBC2) presented by Lisa Eldridge, living history with Back in Time for School (BBC2); and Who Do You Think You Are? with Ruby Wax (BBC1). I've made innovative archive-only and interview and archive docs - such as History of Now for BBC 2, and films in the Timeshift strand for BBC4. As an Edit Producer I have worked on Battle of the Brass Bands (Sky Arts), series in Antiques and Food, as well as the shows I have directed.

I have worked regularly with top presenting talent, including Fiona Bruce, Jay Blades, David Starkey, Mark Gatiss, Turi King, Sara Cox, Lucy Worsley and many more. Presenters know they can trust me to keep a close eye on editorial content, direct a strong performance, and ensure that they shine.

I enjoy discovering what is distinctive and unexpected in a story and bring attention to detail and intellectual rigour to all my projects. I have strong interview skills and have filmed with a wide range of people, from academics to school kids. 

My personal interests draw me to a wide range of subjects, including early music, history of fashion and the history of  art, food and material culture (particularly of the 16th Century and 1930s). I have a succesful vintage clothing business and I contest with brass bands - currently Glastonbury Brass (1st Section). My academic background encompasses science, social science, history and arts, and I still engage in research in history. I recently curated and designed and built an exhibition for The Greensleeves Project on dress in the 16th century song. I have extensive safeguarding training as a junior football club welfare officer, and also spend my Saturday mornings as an assistant referee/linesman.
