I am a multi award winning writer and director who has had hundreds of international exhibits and has a multitude of international distribution deals including Shorts International and Amazon Prime. I represented the UK in the Best of Women in Film and TV and was selected for the Berlinale Talent Lab both with my portfolio as a director and with my comedy series chosen for development in the Project Lab.

I have worked across narrative film, comedy, illustration, live visuals, music video and motion design and has undertaken artist residencies in Berlin, Istanbul and Reykjavik. I have had retrospectives at the Gilbert Baker Film Festival USA and in Czech Republic’s Anifilm. My work was written about in the first ever book on Queer Animation: On LGBTQ2S Animation published by Quickdraw in Canada, 2020. I am also the director of the Brighton International Animation Festival.
