I’m a videographer, photographer, and video editor creating visual content for brands, events, and marketing campaigns. I work comfortably in fast-paced environments and deliver high-quality photo and video content on tight deadlines. I can handle the full workflow including video production, photography, video editing, and post-production for social media, digital marketing, and brand use. With a background in event and project management, I plan shoots properly, communicate clearly, and make sure content fits the wider campaign goals. Clients hire me for event videography, event photography, short-form video content, social media videos, reels, and clean, professional edits. I’m reliable, organised, and easy to work with, and I deliver on time without needing constant direction. If you’re looking for a videographer, video editor or graphic designer who understands both content and production logistics, I’m happy to chat.

Highly effective operations, systems, workflows and process specialist with extensive experience working within various businesses - from Tech and SaaS businesses, big global brands to smaller startups across a multitude of industries. Scale-ups/ growth stage businesses are my happy place! Usually filled with well-intended tool stacks, systems and workflows which have often become redundant and need a refresh ensuring they are optimal for the phase your business has evolved into. As a certified EOS Implementer and Integrator, I specialise in translating a company's vision into operational reality — structuring teams, aligning accountability, and eliminating the chaos that causes customers to quietly disengage. For a B2B SaaS retention context, this means I can audit your entire customer lifecycle, identify where value perception erodes, and design recovery and upsell workflows that account managers can actually execute. I work with all major software platforms and solutions including the usual Google Workspace, Microsoft, ClickUp, Monday, Slack et al - as well as engaging the EOS ethos and framework as an implementer and integrator - helping businesses to ensure their vision and goals are not lost in the chaos. With insights into marketing, brand and every form of communication, I bring a powerful combination of hard and soft skills to your business. With the onset and massive uptick in AI, I engage these solutions to empower and evolve the thinking I bring to each scenario. I invest time understanding AI and how it's reshaping customer success operations — from intelligent engagement triggers to AI-assisted preparation. I bring that lens to every system I build, ensuring your SOPs are future-ready, not just functional today.

I make outbound calls and close. That's the core of what I do. Three years in corporate B2B sales at The Gherkin in London's financial district — cold calling, building pipelines, closing event bookings up to £40,000 with financial services clients. Promoted from Sales Executive to Sales Manager within 18 months. Hit quota every quarter. Since then: BDM at an engineering firm (25% revenue growth, year one), outbound B2B sales for an international publication, and running commercial operations across a multi-site hospitality network in Cape Town. What I'm good at on the phone: — Getting past gatekeepers without burning bridges — Qualifying decision-makers quickly — Sticking to a script while sounding natural — Handling objections without pressure tactics — Accurate handoffs and follow-through English is my first language. I lived and worked in London for three years and have a neutral accent. No comprehension issues on either side of the call. Based in Cape Town (UTC+2). Available Monday to Saturday. Wired connection, quality headset, immediate availability. I don't overcommit. If I take your contract, I show up and I deliver.
