As a University of Leeds Digital Media graduate (high 2:1) with five years of experience in front-end web development, I'm now shifting my focus to videography and video editing.
My varied background in digital media gives me a strong technical foundation, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to create polished, engaging visual content efficiently.
I am exploring a career path that truly excite me, combining creativity and technical skill to deliver videos that resonate with audiences and make an impact.
I’m an aspiring video editor and videographer, transitioning from five years in front-end development to specialise in video production and editing. My digital media degree and agency background give me technical ability, creative thinking and attention to detail, which I now apply to video production.
I’ve gained hands-on experience across corporate shoots, social campaigns and creative productions, working in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, and developing skills in lighting, audio, camera operation and professional editing workflows.
Key projects include:
Now I’m focused on building a career in video production and editing, combining creativity, technical skills and enthusiasm to deliver meaningful high-quality content.
I enjoy videography and editing because it allows me to combine creativity and technical skill to tell engaging stories.
Seeing raw footage transformed into a polished final video is deeply satisfying.
The variety of projects keeps me inspired and continuously learning. Creating content that connects with audiences and evokes emotion is what drives me.
I bring a well-rounded digital background, strong technical skills, and a meticulous eye for detail to every project.
My experience in web development and digital media helps me approach videos with both creativity and precision, ensuring visually appealing and technically polished results.
One of my most challenging projects was producing a video at university for an Adobe brief aimed at promoting social change. Working in a team with people I hadn’t met before presented challenges, and it was a great insight into the dynamics of collaborative digital projects.
Coordinating schedules, planning shoot days, and developing storyboards under tight deadlines required leadership, organisation, and strong communication skills. When some ideas proved unfeasible, I used my project management skills to adjust the plan and ensure the team stayed on track.
By effectively steering the project and refining our approach, we successfully captured all the necessary footage and delivered a polished final video, earning a first-class grade for the project.
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through running and gym sessions, which helps me stay disciplined and focused.
I’m also passionate about sports, watching and play golf regulary with friends!
In addition, I experiment with personal video projects to explore new techniques and creative ideas.
