Directing

I direct commercial and theatre content, bringing a dual perspective as both a performer and a creative. My background informs a practice that balances artistic vulnerability with production realities, including psychologically informed approaches to sensitive material through intimacy direction.

I’ve concepted and directed social campaigns for Charlotte Tilbury and ASOS, collaborated with Plastic Pictures and Publicis Red+ on brand film-led projects, and drawn on experience with ITV and Fremantle Media to build collaborative, considerate sets.

I have expanded into intimacy direction, with theatre and screen projects moving into pre-production for 2026, while continuing to develop contemporary, performance-led theatre through the Director’s Cut Theatre Company.

Across all mediums, I focus on narrative clarity, performer trust, and developing spaces where artists and creatives can deliver their best work, whether in theatre, commercial, or intimate performance contexts.

I am a member of Equity (UK) and BECTU, CRISP certified. 

Intimacy Coordination

My practice as an Intimacy Coordinator/Director is informed by my performance background and on-set experience in theatre, TV, photography and advertising. This work creates safe, psychologically aware environments that balance vulnerability, boundaries, and ensemble dynamics.

I was introduced to intimacy coordination through the National Film & Television School with Yarit Dor (Hadestown, Hamilton, Wicked For Good, Bridgerton) and have trained with RC-Annie and David Thackeray (Industry, White Lotus, Sex Education). My approach integrates performer consent and creative clarity through open communication with directors, producers, and talent.

I support productions across theatre, film, TV, and advertising, providing frameworks that ensure safety, clarity, and artistic integrity throughout the production process—from consultancy and choreography to on-set guidance and direction.

I also mentor emerging creatives through Soho House, the Creative Mentor Network, and Brixton Finishing School, and serve as an ambassador for BEAT, the UK’s largest eating-disorder charity, helping to foster safe, thoughtful, and inclusive creative spaces.
