More about me
I'm an experienced documentaries and music producer and the Creative Director of the UK indie Overcoat Media. I also freelance for various organisations as a producer and Editor/Exec Producer. I'm English, my Dad was from Sri Lanka, my Mum's French and I live in Wales: and so I've got a strong interest (and track record) in stories about overlapping identities.

As a BBC staff producer for over a decade, I built a reputation for arts and factual programmes that combine captivating stories with fresh, playful and original approaches to narrative and form. My documentary feature “Tim Key and Gogol’s Overcoat” won the 2013 Prix Italia for Outstanding Originality in Audio, and I've produced award-winning programmes on subjects from politics to sport, visual arts to history, comedy to poetry, advertising to language.

I'm also an experienced producer/creator of bespoke music content: from classical music to rock to experimental. I have a music degree and background in classical music, and I've produced and managed more than 300 hours of live concerts, events and music series programming for the BBC.

Finally, I'm a regular contributor to the HearSay Audio Arts Festival, and I love to take part in events that help audio makers share ideas and bring us closer together.
