Kurious Planet was created to showcase my work.
I grew up in a working-class background yet studied media production for five years and graduated from the University of Lincoln in 2008. Motivated by a passion for the art and a drive to succeed, I invested in equipment and sourced clients to build a portfolio and hone my skills, acquiring new ones the along away.
Having assisted on many varied projects and producing several of my own short productions, I'm familiar with all phases of the production processes, from pre-production to post-production.
I currently work for the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, creating videos that make a difference, from training staff to providing patients with critical information. It's a privilege working here, especially during the COVID pandemic when remote audiovisual solutions are in high demand; it fills me with a great sense of purpose. Please feel free to follow the preceding link to view the work we do.
It's been a long journey, and there's still a way to go.
Thank you for taking the time to visit Kurious Planet, and please feel free to browse the content available.
