British born but also a New Zealand passport holder, I am a confident shooter with global experience working with
large non profit organisations and corporates. Previously ‘Head of Productions’ at Nutmeg Productions; producing,
shooting and editing has given me a solid knowledge of end to end production, managing staff and client expectations,
often working within sensitive environments and with politically sensitive content.
All of the above results in my ability of having a multi-platform crossover to my skills.

As an idea to sell a new cycling app, we pitched fast cut action and a variety of angels in a dramatic description of
