“originality is nothing but judicious imitation”

– Voltaire

I am a fixer, assistant producer and production manager with over 8 years experience in managing budgets, international & local crews, locations, casting and all things production.

I have produced, managed, facilitated and coordinated numerous shoots from pre-production to post. This includes a mix of TVCs, documentaries, broadcast, brand campaigns for clients such as Truly Original, Abu Dhabi Tourism, Dubai Tourism, National Geographic, BBC World, Burberry, Discovery Channel and many more.
