After years of trying A-Levels and courses I came across film as a career prospect and fell in love with all aspects of filmmaking. After graduating with a 1st Class Honours Degree in Film I went on to win multiple grants that enabled me to buy the industry level equipment I use today.

My father has always inspired me with his great work ethic and compassionate nature. As a result I have tried to model myself after him.

Growing up I experienced a lot of anxiety, panic attacks at the cinema and friends sleep overs started to take its toll. Then in 2021 I decided to run for all of January. I did this and at the end of January I wanted to keep running but thought I would add another habit. This evolved into me adding a habit each month such as learning another language, reading 5 pages of a book, making my bed and so on. By the end of the year, I had run 365 days in a row and had a dozen habits built into me. It takes 66 Days to form a habit.

I love having the freedom to be creative and make decisions. This is the good side of being your own boss however don’t be fooled into thinking you can have lie ins all day! Working for yourself and having control over your time usually looks like working more than a 9-5. The thing is, you love what you do and so you do it happily.
