About

I'm a Northern Ireland based freelance film & video editor with over fifteen years post-production experience. I began my career in London working for one of the world's leading factual production companies, Darlow Smithson Productions. From there I made the jump to freelance work, focusing on short-form in advertising, commercials, corporate and online branded social media projects.

I relocated to Northern Ireland in 2021 where I've made the transition to remote editing from home and travel to the UK when needed.

Clients include: TwoFour, Raise the Roof, Blink Films, Wag TV, FEED Films, Agent Provocateur, Burberry, Saatchi & Saatchi, Grey London, SYCO, Text100, The London Stock Exchange, Hogarth Worldwide, The Noah Media Group.
