I’m a British–Australian director and filmmaker based in the UK, working across commercial, documentary, sport and travel content.
I’ve spent much of my career filming internationally, working across 23 countries with global brands and organisations including FIFA, Meta and American Express. My work ranges from large-scale football tournaments and branded campaigns to documentary storytelling in more remote and unpredictable environments.
RECENT WORK
Recent work includes directing for FIFA Films at the Intercontinental Cup in Qatar, with highlights including filming the Flamengo and PSG captains during a trophy shoot on a helipad in Doha.

I’ve also directed TV and social campaigns for Princess Cruises, filming across Fiji and Australia, and a commercial campaign for ABK Bank in the UAE, where we transformed Dubai into Kuwait and New York through production design and location work.
APPROACH
My work is rooted in collaboration and adaptability. I’m used to stepping into new environments with new teams, often across different cultures and ways of working.
My work is rooted in collaboration and adaptability. I’m used to stepping into new environments with new teams, often across different cultures and ways of working.
I try to create a calm, open atmosphere on set, whether working with professional athletes, actors or non-actors. From there, it’s about understanding the moment, knowing when to guide, and when to let things unfold.
EXPERIENCE
Alongside directing, I’ve worked across producing, shooting and post-production, which allows me to take projects from concept through to final delivery.

I’ve worked across live sport, documentary, wildlife productions and tourism campaigns, often in physically demanding or unpredictable conditions. These experiences have shaped a practical, hands-on approach and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
