I’m a strong advocate for introducing innovation at every opportunity. I spearhead special projects and lead cross-departmental collaboration to develop state-of-the-art solutions that push boundaries within time and cost constraints.
I’m always actively researching and producing proof of concepts to evaluate real-world results and production readiness of new tools, technologies, and techniques. As part of this process, I develop strategic partnerships, provide product feedback, and share valuable insights with colleagues and collaborators.
Most recently, I’ve been accelerating the adoption of AI at creative agencies through end-to-end research, development, and deployment—advising on the most suitable models and methods for commercial campaigns, and supervising projects to prevent costly mistakes and misuse.
PRE-PRODUCTION
I’m usually involved in projects from the very beginning, in advance of the pitch phase. I support the creative development process to ensure technical viability and develop supporting materials, such as proof of concepts to instil confidence in a proposition. I’m experienced in managing all aspects of pre-production, including: R&D, SOWs, SLAs, budgeting, scheduling, scouting, casting, crewing, contracts, clearances, locations, permits, releases, risk assessments, insurances, etc.
PRODUCTION
I’m tremendously technical and hands-on. I approach projects from first principles and constantly question constraints, dispelling preconceived notions and enabling teams to explore, engineer, and execute. My knowledge base is broad and includes all the latest production methods and best practices for creating commercials, content, social media, live streams, stills, and immersive experiences.
POST-PRODUCTION
I have extensive experience managing all aspects of 2D and 3D post-production pipelines. Furthermore, I’m a proficient user of: DaVinci Resolve and Nuke; Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Encoder, and Photoshop. I excel at designing bespoke solutions which combine artists and AI to achieve maximum quality and efficiency.
I'm an innovation lead and producer of commercials, content, social media, live streams, stills, and immersive experiences ranging from £100k to £2m in England, Europe, and the United States.
I’ve been solving production problems for 10+ years whilst working independently and collaboratively across freelance, contract, and full-time employment within organisations of various types and sizes, from production companies to creative agencies and small startups to multinationals.
I’m tremendously technical and well versed in all aspects of the production process. Hence, I’m perfectly positioned to introduce innovation at every opportunity. I approach projects from first principles, leveraging the latest tools, technologies, and techniques to deliver remarkable results.
I’m based in Charing Cross, London and I have extensive experience working internationally in: New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Sacramento, Barcelona, Paris, Grenoble, Vienna, Carinthia, Lisbon, Helsinki, and really remote places like Tarawa, Kiribati and Mt Shasta, California.
Highlights include participating in an emerging technologies round-table at 10 Downing Street, and lecturing at Meta’s immersive film-making masterclass at the Raindance Film Festival. Outside of work, I love vibe coding and all things automotive and aviation.
To summarise, I solve production problems—anywhere, anytime, and I’m all in on AI.
