About
An accomplished Producer & Production Manager with extensive experience across short-form branded content: TVCs, promos, stills, and video.
My career began in Cape Town managing international service productions as well as local campaigns, before I relocated to London in 2022 to work in-house for a busy branded department.
Having mastered everything from massive commercial shoots to nimble digital pieces, I went freelance at the end of 2024. I now split my time seasonally between the UK and South Africa.
