About Me
I'm a highly experienced Editor and Motion Graphics Animator, having worked across the industry, from corporate to commercials to broadcast TV and streaming. I'm equally at home in Premiere, Resolve, After Effects, Mocha, Photoshop and Illustrator, and have the knowledge and experience to bring your vision to life.
I've built my experience and skills working with many of London's top production companies and major broadcasters, as well as several international clients. I know what it takes to create great content on a large or small budget.
I’m based in South East London but I'm willing to travel. I’m happy to come to you, but I’m also set up to work remotely with a fast machine and gigabit fibre.
I'm the Director of a limited company - A Stitch in Timecode Ltd. The company is fully insured for liability and professional indemnity for your peace of mind.
A Bit of My Work
Editing Showreel
Just a small taste of some of the great projects I've worked on.
From a quick turnaround short form edit to an entire TV series, I'll strive to give you the best programme possible.
Motion Graphics Showreel
Most of the projects I edit need at least a bit of After Effects work, even if it's just something simple. If you're looking for more complex animations though, I can do that too!
I've created animations for major documentaries, short films, and corporate clients. Take a look!

More of My Work
American Express Meaningful Travel
Part of a series of short films featuring adventurous and
sustainable luxury travel.
Here we visit Mi Paella en el Huerto, a resort just outside Valencia, and learn how to make paella the traditional way (hint: there's no seafood!).
Oldland Windmill
The early 18th century Oldland Windmill near Ditchling in Kent produced flour for the local area for many years before falling into disrepair, and was scheduled for demolition. To save this important landmark, local people undertook a 34-year restoration to bring the mill back to its former glory.
I produced this film as one of sixteen VTs for the Historic England Angel Award ceremony, where the Windmill won the Industrial Building category, as well as the Peoples' Choice award.
The Gold-Laden Sheep and the Sacred Mountain
In this mystical ‘ethno-sci’, a shepherd’s holy-mountain quest transforms into a metaphysical fable about mankind’s search for the sacred.
The film was released in India in 2018, and international release was in 2022 after being delayed by Covid. I cut the trailers for this release.
Peroni Nastro Azzurro Commercial
Commercial celebrating the history of Peroni. In 1963, Carlo Peroni created a new lager that could be exported to the world with style, Nastro Azzurro (Blue Ribbon in English) was inspired by the ocean liner SS Rex winning the ‘Blue Ribband’ award for the fastest
crossing of the Atlantic Ocean in 1933.

A short film using archive footage, in which we revisit the pioneering 1956 overland journey from London to Singapore, made by students from Oxford and Cambridge Universities.
