About

With over 20 years’ experience Directing commercials, documentaries, music videos and film/TV title sequences, I consistently show passion in my work, striving for aesthetic beauty and a strong cinematic style in everything I throw myself at. 

I've been fortunate enough to collaborate with some of the most prestigious ad agencies, innovative creatives and iconic brands including Armani, Puma, BMW, Lotus, Ford and Volvo. Additionally, I’ve had the privilege of working with talented actors, musicians, iconic sport stars and even royalty.

Born, raised in Wigan, Lancashire, home of Northern Soul and pies. Studied Fine Art at Leeds, began my career working at Granada TV Manchester, before emigrating to the big smoke and grafting my way up to becoming a director. In addition to my commercial work , I am very proud of the thought-provoking films I have made for respected charities covering issues including drug addiction, AIDS and homelessness. 

Based in London but working all over the world, I have great relationships throughout Europe, USA and China.
