About

In 2022 I completed the MA in Narrative Environments at UAL/CSM as a filmmaker and producer with a new skillset in film storytelling, cross discipline project management and spatial design.

Previously, my work with Lucian Evans at  Leap Films covered branded content, commercials, campaign films for the public sector and creative documentary.  We planned projects, managed budgets, built client relationships and sourced the most exciting production talent.

My focus now is creating work that has social value, based on an inclusive approach to film storytelling.   I am  exploring  a playful and provocative practice in the design of projects, with the visitor’s experience at the forefront of my thinking.  

Current projects explore hidden narratives and storytellers: finding communities beyond the mainstream media traffic and celebrating unique voices, lives and experiences.

My inspiration as a spatial storyteller comes from artists and practitioners: Theaster Gates,  Mona Hatoum, Hew Locke, Anselm Kiefer, Noel McCauley and the TGAC team.  Their work shifts perceptions, triggers the imagination and invites participation/activity.  I share their attention to research; their emphasis on visualisation, materials and testing ideas; and, finally, their absolute focus on the visitor’s physical and imaginative experience.
