I love to tell stories, I really do.

My background in acting means I speak the same ‘language’ as my cast and relate acutely to their journey and needs. This makes it easy to connect with them, get the results I want, and hopefully capture a little bit of magic along the way.

At the same time, my training as a visual Artist, with a BFA in Sculpture, means that I understand the power and depth of the unspoken language of images, space, and movement.

With over thirty years of experience in the industry, I have worked on a variety of projects, from Comedies to Kids ’ Shows, TVCs to dramas, and have consistently delivered high-quality content that engages and entertains audiences. I have a proven track record of successfully managing both the creative and technical aspects of production, from pre-production to post-production.

As a director, I prioritize communication and collaboration with my team, including producers, writers, and crew members. I believe that every person involved in a project has a unique perspective and can contribute to the success of a production. By creating an open and inclusive work environment, I can bring out the best in everyone involved and ensure that the final product exceeds everyone’s expectations.
