how can I help you?
Ready to bring your ideas to life? I'm a seasoned producer in factual entertainment, documentary, and branded content, and I love turning ideas into captivating TV. Whether you need support in development, casting, securing access, or managing complex productions, I offer a collaborative approach and a proven track record of success.
development
Having worked on multiple first series, carving out a new format is a specialism of mine.
As a development producer, I have a strong track record of securing commissions, I am often brought onto funded developments to secure commissions through proof of concept. I specialise in generating innovative ideas and transforming them into sellable formats for factual entertainment, documentaries, and beyond.
I enjoy writing decks to support compelling ideas, supporting them with a stand-out cast. I have always found my experience in casting and productions has been a major asset for any development team I have worked on.
I have worked with US and UK commissioners.
SPECIALIST CASTING
With over a decade of casting experience, I began my career on large-scale entertainment shows like 'Got to Dance' and other major competition formats, where I honed my ability to discover standout personalities for high-turnover productions.
Now, I specialise in finding and working with talent across diverse genres, and it's a true passion of mine. I love helping people share their stories and seeing them thrive.
Over the years, I've cast a wide array of contributors for branded content and specialist factual programmes. Whilst working on premium documentaries for Disney+, I worked effectively and respectfully with native communities.
From a monk in Nepal to a child with a vibrant personality, a neuroscientist, or a couple navigating IVF, I have experience casting a broad spectrum of individuals for US and Uk commissioners.
Whatever your brief I would love to help.
access all areas
As an access producer, I understand that it's not just about getting the 'yes' – it's about building trust and managing relationships to secure unique filming opportunities. Securing access to the 'unreachable' is where I thrive.
From gaining entry to exclusive properties for 'The Big Interiors Design Battle' and navigating sensitive situations within fertility clinics for 'Alex Jones Making Babies', I have a proven track record of opening doors to challenging locations, institutions, and contributors.
My experience includes securing access for high-budget documentaries like 'Pole 2 Pole' and spans negotiating with high-profile individuals to working with communities across the globe, always ensuring the needs of both the production and the contributors are met.
