      Bachelor's degree HISTORY 2:1

      Even if you don't end up "doing" what you studied at university, university will always help you figure out what it is you want to do in life. At least, it did for me. As much as I love to geek out about history, I realised I wasn't particularly academic or disciplined enough to sit writing and reading at a desk all day.

At least, it did for me. As much as I love to geek out about history, I realised I wasn't particularly academic or disciplined enough to sit writing and reading at a desk all day. Instead, I found myself walking around Leeds taking photos on my iPhone which is where my creative journey really began.The skills I learnt at university in terms or writing, organisation and research have proven incredibly useful to me throughout my working life. Studying history also developed my deep understanding and knowledge of how our world works, how we came to be and where we're going. It's this particular fascination that is the driving force behind most of my work. Show less

      Feb 2016 - May 2018
      Freelance Video Producer

      Graduating from university, unsure of what I wanted to do long term, I took the leap and headed to the other side of the world on a two year working holiday visa in Australia.The favourable economy "down under" ensured I was never short of work or money which in turn meant I could travel, experiencing new countries and cultures regularly.I really cut my teeth on these adventures, documenting them through both photos and video with my cheap, battered second-hand camera (Nikon D3500). The only way you're ever going to get better and improve at a craft is to practice. The more you practice, the more you learn. I made video after video - most of them terrible - slowly learning the process of filmmaking. Some days I would master(?) Adobe Premiere Pro, some days I'd discover a better way of lighting, or figure out how to improve my drone work. I also learnt how to manage my social media account on Instagram, and nurture my YouTube channel. It was all a learning curve. Through Australia, Iceland, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malawi I developed a deep understanding and appreciation for filmmaking and how our world works. Show less

    • Studio 24-7

      Aug 2018 - Mar 2020
      Video director, producer & editor

      Returning home to the UK, I was approached by Ben Harris who'd seen the work I was posting across my Instagram and YouTube. He invited me to join him in building the production company Studio 24-7 - a new branch of Cheshire-based marketing agency Solutions 24-7. As producers, directors, editors and everything in between, we built the business from the ground up. Using the skills learnt in Australia, we created films for various local business improvement districts, covering christmas events and street theatre festivals, as well as other lines of work with promotional destination videos, brand stories and property guides. Along the way I picked up a tonne of new skills, including acquiring my CAA certified drone licence. Show less
