About
I’m a Senior Producer with over a decade of experience delivering high-end factual entertainment and luxury brand films for the world’s leading streamers and broadcasters.
​
From steering flagship BBC shows like Top Gear to producing immersive 180° adventure documentaries for Apple TV+, I specialise in taking big, ambitious ideas and making them a reality. I recently led the commission-winning development for the new iteration of The Grand Tour and have a long track record of bringing successful tasks, VTs, and formats to life.
​
Whether leading crews in the Peruvian Andes or thinking up the next big format, I bridge the gap between bold creative concepts and meticulously planned, high-stakes production.
