ABOUT

I’m a Los Angeles–based writer-director and visual storyteller, originally from Newquay, Cornwall (UK). I’m drawn to character-driven work that lives between humour and vulnerability. My stories explore identity, reinvention, and those quiet moments of human metamorphosis – when the life someone’s been living no longer quite fits, and something new is trying to break through.

I’m interested in stories that sit in the mess: funny, tender, uncomfortable, and deeply human.

My path into filmmaking began with photography, where I learned how much story can live inside a single frame. And now, after more than a decade producing key art, commercial, and documentary work, I’ve found those skills have shaped how I write and direct. Whether working in stills or motion, the goal is the same — to tell human stories that feel intimate, honest, and lived-in.

My award-winning short film She screened internationally and received multiple awards, and my fine artwork has exhibited across the US and Canada. Most recently, I wrote and directed a proof-of-concept for an original television series, winning the CFA Pinnacle Award. I also completed a debut YA fantasy novel, a story driven by heart, humour, and a love of adventure inspired by my grandfather’s storytelling.

Alongside my independent creative work, I’ve collaborated on commercial and branded projects for major clients across development, production, and delivery. That background informs how I approach my own projects — creatively ambitious, while grounded in a deep understanding of how to deliver on time and on budget.

I’m most aligned working with conscious enterprises that value diversity, sustainability, and giving back.

In “The Truth Is..”, artists and collaborators Lindsay Elliot, Sarah Tesla and Adele Thomas present a selection of their photographic works focused around the interrelationships between people and place.

Using a mix of landscape and portraiture, each photograph embodies an individual truth as it is manifest in experience: from the beauty of the Lower Mainland, to several locations across North and West Africa and the Middle East.

Artist Statement:

Initiated in 2015, this Dance Series is founded in the five primordial elements that make up our world and our bodies: fire, water, earth, air, and spirit. Working in collaboration with local dancers, these photographs seek to capture the strength and fluidity of the feminine. The dancers’ movements and invoke feelings of isolation and freedom when immersed within the raw beauty of nature. The dance is symbolic to the elements, and emphasizes that we come of the earth, not "into" it. By exploring powerful movement and intuitive self expression, the dancer truly embodies the connection to one or more of the elements. This series unites the female form in their strength, in their power and in their beauty, as captured in the fantastical art form of dance.
