With over 15 years of experience in video production, I specialize in creating branded content, corporate videos, and advertisements. My passion lies in telling compelling stories and bringing people’s work and passions to life through video.
As a Director of Photography, I filmed the New Zealand segment of this international documentary, which was funded by Discovery Channel.
The installation of an ornate carving from New Zealand at Singapore's renowned Gardens by the Bay opens reveals how Māori traditions have connections with Asia and a relevance to our lives today.

Doc Edge 2025
I was lucky enough to DOP this fun little mocumentary with Saachi & Saachi to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Doc Edge Documentary Festival.
To mark the 20th Anniversary of New Zealand’s Oscar-qualifying documentary festival Doc Edge, Saatchi NZ has created ‘Sapiosexy, the documentary. ‘ A tongue-in-cheek documentary short following Jack, who wakes up one day feeling sapiosexy – a term used to describe people who are so smart it’s downright sexy. Over the course of a day, we learn about his condition in the pursuit of finding out what’s causing it. Could it be the documentaries at Doc Edge making Jack Sapiosexy…maybe…possibly…yes it is.
