What I do

01

Senior Event Producer / Director

End-to-end delivery of events, launches, experiential activations and exhibitions from brief and budget to build, show and de-rig. I join, motivate and lead teams to deliver their best work and to have fun doing it.

02

Experiential Consultant

Experienced creative input at every stage, from first ideas to final walk-through. Able to join a project or brand team and advise on how to shape the best experiences for the challenge at hand, bringing insights from behavioural economics, experience design and best-in-class production execution.

03

Military Communications Specialist

As a Major in the Army Reserve, I command teams of soldiers on Operational work on a regular basis. A deep communications and Information Operations specialist, I deliver work which influences attitudes and behaviours with military discipline and calm.

04

Location Scout and Manager

Finding the right spaces and managing them: contracts, logistics, neighbours and everything in between. Trained by the NFTS, I find locations for Events, Experiential, Film and TV.

05

Calling the show live, keeping every cue, team and screen in sync when it matters most.
