02 / About me
Over two decades in television, with experience from transmission and playout through to the director’s chair.
Before becoming freelance in 2011, I worked in transmission operations and at Sky News. That technical grounding still shapes how I work: clear preparation, precise communication and an understanding of what it takes to get a programme to air.
From planning multi-camera coverage to making decisions in a live gallery, I bring the same considered approach to every production.
