About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The moving image

ABOUT ME

Working for the London arm of a Parisian based Fashion brand during the days and pursuing Freelance work in still and moving imagery. Have settled in London for around a year now after relocating from the North, slowly chipping away at what i want to do

PHILOSOPHY

Taking things as they come, not getting too hooked up on the pitfalls we all encounter in life. Having a positive outlook on the future, trying to progress in life and help the people around me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never couch surfed but hoping to travel in the next couple of months, and will be getting to grips with it.

Interests

I love music more than anything, so i collect and search for whatever i feel is good.
When i didn't live in London i used to promote shows and put on touring bands, also did the odd rounds as a DJ. I have a massive passion for poster production and illustration, although i have put that aside to concentrate on music video production and photography.
Live music has always been a massive passion, i still attend and keep in touch with whats going on as much as possible. I will be heading over to Austin in April so looking for some great people to help me out there.
