Crew Listing


Description

I am a production sound mixer with over 10 years of experience working across television, drama, and commercial productions. I have a strong understanding of on-set workflows and pride myself on delivering clean, reliable audio in fast-paced and high-pressure environments. I am confident working closely with directors, camera teams, and talent to ensure sound integrates seamlessly into the wider production.

I am highly experienced with professional audio equipment, including multi-channel recorders, wireless systems, and timecode workflows. I am known for my attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills, and ability to adapt quickly to changing conditions on set. Whether working on location or in controlled environments, I maintain high standards and a calm, professional approach at all times.

Alongside my sound work, I am also an FPV drone pilot specialising in smooth, cinematic flight. I create immersive indoor and outdoor drone shots, with a focus on precise control and storytelling through movement. This gives me a broader understanding of cinematography and how sound and visuals work together to enhance a production.

I am proactive, reliable, and easy to work with, with a strong work ethic and passion for the industry. I am always looking to collaborate on new projects and bring both technical expertise and creative input to the team.


Special Interests

I have a strong interest in continuously improving both the technical and creative aspects of my work. I enjoy building and refining my sound kit, and I am currently designing and assembling my sound cart from scratch to ensure it is perfectly tailored to the needs of the productions I work on. This process allows me to optimise workflow, efficiency, and reliability on set.

I am also passionate about FPV drone flying, particularly creating smooth, cinematic shots that enhance storytelling. I enjoy exploring how movement and perspective can add depth to a scene, and I’m always developing my skills to achieve more precise and immersive results.

Alongside my practical work, I am looking to move into teaching alongside my career, with the aim of helping to bring through the next generation of sound professionals.

I also take an active interest in emerging technologies, workflow optimisation, and new ways to improve efficiency both on set and in my own projects. I enjoy problem-solving, learning new techniques, and pushing my skillset further to stay current within the industry.
