ACCOUNTING & ADMINISTRATION

Skilled across numerous software applications, accounting systems, spreadsheets, and CRMs. Brilliant problem solver and process improvement project manager in transactional fields, particularly finance, purchasing, and supply chain management. Not only am I competent, I am also very friendly.

FILM

PRODUCTION

From having made short films during my youth and early twenties, both independently and directing peers, to studying Film at Falmouth University, I continue to seek out film and televisual production opportunities when they arise.  

From narrative brainstorming to assisting with set design and location reconnaissance, to editing and arranging shoots, I'll be on hand to help manifest your vision.

South-west based, available to travel.

JACKASS OF ALL TRADES

Freelance Creative.

Born in Buckinghamshire. Raised in Cheshire. Grew up in Bristol. Got lost in Cornwall. Reborn in Wiltshire.

As Einstein said, “Creativity is seeing what others see and thinking what no one else ever thought.”

Like Einstein, I see something ordinary, like a spreadsheet, and think, "Wow, that’s art!"

I design, I act, I play. I can add very well, and I can also take away. I make films, paint, write stories, and enjoy putting my stamp on things.

I believe everything we do is in some way a self-portrait.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
