BIOGRAPHY
After studying illustration and animation at UCE Birmingham, I graduated with First Class Honours in Visual Communication.
I quickly moved into directing music video’s for artists such as, Kasabian, Moby and The Feeling.
Like most directors these days I am a freelance gun for hire. Feel free to approach me directly regarding projects. I have made commercials for the likes of, Nissan, Ikea and Nike. Talent worked with includes Graham Norton, Chris Evans, Michael Gambon, Sharon Horgan and Paul Kaye.
Alongside the advertising work I also write and direct for TV and have collaborated with comedians such as Nick Helm, Romesh Ranganathan, Sarah Pascoe, Asim Chaudrey (Chabuddy G), Pat Cahil and Spencer Jones with whom I created 'Big Babies', an BAFTA nominated, award winning children's television show produced for the BBC.
Recent projects include TV commercials for Maltesers, Philadelphia and Pingit by Barclays. A BBC comedy pilot starring Nick Helm for Baby Cow. A BAFTA nominated BBC Short starring Spencer Jones for Tiger Aspect and a personal project featuring a very naughty cat and dog.
