About Us

I’m a London based post production Edit Assistant and Assembly Editor with 20 years’ experience across factual, docs, entertainment and current affairs. I’m confident across Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere and FCPX, and I’m comfortable running the full offline workflow, ingest, offloads, backups, sync, grouping, multicam, media management, troubleshooting, exports and delivery ready files.

I’m calm under pressure, easy to work with, and used to fast turnaround schedules, working efficiently both independently and as part of an edit team. I’ve worked across a wide range of post houses and production companies including Wag TV, Avalon Television, Optomen, Prime Focus, Platform Post, Princess Productions, Envy Post Production, Arrow Media, Darlow Smithson, Tiger Aspect, BBC Factual, and others, with broadcast credits spanning Channel 4, ITV, BBC, and WGBH Frontline.

Alongside assisting and assembling, I also cut trailers, teasers, sizzles and social cutdowns from existing rushes, fast turnaround, Avid or Premiere, with clean deliverables. I also edit short form content, promos and comedy, and I write, direct and edit my own projects under zeroheadroom.com and fuzzydice.co.uk, which keeps my craft sharp and showcases my creative editing style.

I’m a practical all rounder in post production, I can troubleshoot workflow issues quickly, and I take pride in delivering engaging content to a high standard.
