About

Irish Director / Writer / Producer based in Belfast. I have had experience directing, writing, editing and producing short films and have written, directed and produced fourteen funded short films supported by various companies such as Northern Ireland Screen, RTE and BBC.

My recent work includes directing x4 episodes of BBC's hit kids show 'Nova Jones'. I PD'd an episode of 'Born Differently' for Future Studios & was the leading producer of a US broadband commercial for 'Brightspeed' with a budget of over $1mil USD.

I graduated from Ulster University with a First Class Honours in Cinematic Arts BSc. Alongside University, I have been working on countless productions for companies such as BBC, RTE, Future Studios, Stellify Media, Thames TV, ITV, Sky News and HBO.
