I'm a self-shooting producer, director and editor based in Sydney. I film and edit brand films, founder stories, sport, and documentary-style content for businesses that need someone who can run a shoot solo and deliver a finished edit, not just raw footage. 15+ years behind the camera, on jobs for Animal Planet, FIFA, Tottenham Hotspur FC, WTA, KPMG, McGrathNicol, and Vanity Fair UK. I've shot in 40+ countries, covered live sport under pressure, and directed corporate films for clients who needed to look credible to their own customers and investors. What I handle, start to finish: - Brand films and founder/company stories - Corporate and executive interviews - Social content (Reels, hero films, behind-the-scenes) - Travel, sport and documentary-style shoots - Full post-production: editing, colour, sound, delivery I shoot on a Sony FX6 with a cinema lens kit and I'm comfortable as a one-man crew or working alongside a bigger production team. Most of my clients want one person they can brief once and trust to handle the camera, the lighting, and the edit without a producer hovering over the shoot. That's the gap I fill. Recent work has included ongoing video editing for a medical device company's patient engagement content, brand films for startups and small businesses, and corporate interview setups for agencies needing a local shooter in Sydney. If you need someone who can turn up, shoot it well, and hand you a finished film, send me a message and tell me about the project. I reply fast and I'm straightforward to work with.

I’m a short-form video editor specialising in TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts for creators and brands. I focus on making edits that feel natural, paced and engaging, with a strong sense of rhythm and flow. My background in music production helps me cut to timing, choose music intentionally, and keep edits feeling cohesive rather than over-edited. I’ve worked on short-form content across platforms including Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts, handling everything from rough cuts through to final delivery. This includes pacing and structure, music selection and sync, basic colour correction, audio cleanup, and formatting for each platform. I keep communication straightforward and timelines clear, and I’m comfortable working with feedback to get the edit feeling right without dragging things out.
