I’m a Glasgow based producer / director working in creative documentary. I’m really inspired by resonant everyday stories that I can give a platform to, for inclusive audiences, and encourage people to look twice at a familiar world. I have been screened locally and internationally since 2015, and in 2023 my short Between the Dog and the Wolf was broadcast on BBC4 as part of their Now and Next scheme. Having worked for 12 years as a multimedia producer for the Guardian I have since produced documentaries with the Scottish Documentary Institute, and for a range of clients producing and directing for third sector (The Red Cross and Save the Children) as well as directing short biographical films for local artists and personalities around Scotland and the UK.
I am currently developing my first feature documentary.
