Creative * Development Nerd * Writer * Director * Speaker
London & Kent Based | French Speaking
Born to hippie, working-class parents in Kent (you should see the names they gave my brothers...) I was told to follow my creativity and never "get a real job." Most days, I think that was excellent advice. Other days, I remember those same parents named me from a true crime documentary and had questionable judgement...
I'm a big nerd for IP development, leading with characters, social world-building, and audience development. My background is in scripted development for Disney, the BBC and a few others, and I've been writing screenplays and making films ever since, whilst also creating all sorts of content for people at Unilever, IKEA and Canva, to name the most exciting selection.
Happily, I still freelance as a creative and as a director for brands, agencies and production companies, in between personal projects and leading workshops through Rebel Muse Studios.
