About

Media expert with over a decade of experience in videography and photography. In the last 10 years I've helped construct company identities through their marketing and presentation, their internal communication and education, and their external messaging. Also a keen writer who has worked on multiple indie features lengths, written, directed, and consulted on a number of short films, and also written and consulted on hundreds of corporate video productions. Over half a decade of experience in running companies also. I aim to help those I meet in developing their understanding and skills, nurturing their talents, and allowing them and their company/ies to grow.
