About Me
I’m a Photographer and Graphic Designer who moved into film in 2024 after completing a hands-on film course. Since then, I’ve gained on-set experience across production, art, and camera departments, working as an intern and shadowing ADs, DIT, and Props, as well as assisting a Production Designer on large-scale international productions.
                These roles have built my understanding of set etiquette, communication, and technical workflow, and confirmed how much I enjoy the fast-paced, collaborative nature of film. I’m particularly interested in continuing within the camera or art department, supporting the crew while developing towards a specialised role. 
                I bring a strong work ethic, a calm and positive on-set presence, and a willingness to step into whatever is needed to keep things running smoothly. I’m adaptable, reliable, and committed to learning through real-world experience.
