ABOUT:
PERSONAL SUMMARY

I’m a London-based multidisciplinary creative working across fashion, branding, and visual storytelling through video, photography, and design.

My approach blends strategic creative direction with end-to-end production, from concept development and shooting through to editing, colour, graphics, and brand rollouts.

With a background in fashion design and creative direction, supported by early foundations in graphic design, product design, and photography, my work sits at the intersection of product, and narrative. 

I’ve delivered campaigns, music videos, and promotional content while forging brand identities for fashion labels, artists, and creative businesses, including building my own activewear brand, Skinsuit.

I focus on producing culturally aware and visually distinctive work that balances creative expression with clear commercial impact.
