London-based with 10 years of experience working in TV, commercials, live and streamed events, music videos, brand videos and social media content.

I have made up many artists and bands on TV shows and music videos, including Rick Savage (Def Leppard), Sam Ryder, Mahalia, KT Tunstall, Bucks Fizz, Echo Belly to name a few, and actors and presenters Tom Daley, Ellie Taylor, GK Barry, Donna Air, Warwick Davis, Hugh Dennis, Iwan Rheon and backing dancers for Asknikko and Meghan Trainor.

I have worked on commercials for Sky, Carlsberg, Heineken, Nike, The Co-op, Dove, Very, Boots, Honda, Sony Ladbrokes, and Amazon Prime, to name a few, and TV shows like Would I Lie to You, Vintage TV and recently the dancers at The 02 for opening ceremony of League of Legends.
