About Me
As a new film student, I’m on a journey to discover both the art of storytelling through both film and photography, as well as what my role in it could be. My passion for photography first taught me to see the world in moments—capturing details others might miss. Now, I’m shifting focus to expand my skillset into filmmaking.
Every project challenges me to push my creative boundaries, learn new techniques, and explore how I can share my unique perspective. I’m excited to continue growing and discovering my voice and place in this industry.

Films and Projects
1st YEAR
Everyday Activity - Film Production Skills
A short film for the first brief of the year, ‘Everyday Activity’ where we had to make a short (at maximum running time of less than five minutes) film. I had chosen to base mine around two people walking their dogs on the beach, turned into a promotional film based on those from the 1930’s to the 1970’s.
Group short film project - the barrow curse
The Barrow Curse is a short horror film I wrote and directed as part of our first year group short film project. The film as written focuses on atmosphere and psychological tension, with an emphasis on visual storytelling. It deals with isolation, superstition, and the quiet build-up of dread. However, the film as edited ended up being really funny. Working on this project helped me develop my skills in scriptwriting, directing actors, and managing the moving pieces of a film shoot.
EXPERIMENTAL MEDIA ARTS PROJECT
Tesserae is a physical installation made up of repeated, individual parts of a landscape image, arranged into a larger form. It takes inspiration from mosaic art and looks at how small pieces can come together to create something more meaningful. The idea developed through my own research alongside workshops in our Experimental Media module, where we explored themes relating to structure, repetition, and using physical space as part of the work. Tesserae is about pattern, connection, and how the way things are placed can change how we see them.
