I began my career in London in 2000 where I worked as a Prod Assistant on the scripted drama series POIROT (2 x 2hr) for ITV.

Returning to Australia, I worked for 4 yrs at Crackerjack Productions as a TV Editor, including 3 seasons of sketch comedy series COMEDY INC (over 40hrs of TV) for Ch 9.

As an independent I shot and directed a doco about heavy metal music culture in Finland, THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT METAL, which won the Silver Palm Award at the 2009 Mexico Intl Film Festival.

In 2011 I was cinematographer on the short film JULIAN which won many awards including the Crystal Bear at Berlinale and the AACTA Award for Best Short.

In 2013 I wrote and directed the short film RAVI & JANE, it won awards in India and the USA and has screened at more than 35 international film festivals, including TIFF Kids (Canada) & Edinburgh (UK).

In more recent years I have been shooting & directing Doco/Factual Television.

Throughout my career I have also produced video content for many well known international companies and brands.

I am always open to the next opportunity.

I hold a BA in TV Production from CSU (1997) and a Post Grad Diploma in Journalism from UTS (2007).
