REEL 01Profile

25+ years working with visual and digital content — formal media training, independent production, broadcast, archive preservation, and technical consultancy for major media organisations.

Comfortable across the full content journey: AI-assisted image generation and enhancement, copywriting, editing and asset management, used to produce material that's accurate, on-brand and ready for whichever channel it's landing on — retailer site, Amazon listing, social feed or print.

Just as comfortable pairing new tools with old ones — AI image and copy generation sitting next to Adobe, Canva and hands-on production technique — with the same discipline around metadata, version control and technical accuracy that comes from managing digital asset libraries at scale.

REEL 02Relevant experience

2024 — 2026

IT & Infrastructure Support

Education sector, multi-site

A change of scene after relocating — cloud services, endpoint management and cross-platform troubleshooting, explaining technical issues clearly to people who don't want the technical explanation.

2021 — 2024

Pre-Sales Solutions Engineer

Iron Mountain — Media & Archive Services

Turned complex client requirements into practical content-management and distribution solutions — ingest, metadata, storage, delivery — then wrote the proposals and technical documentation that carried it to broadcasters and content owners.

2016 — 2021

Non-Linear Systems Engineer

The Walt Disney Company

Kept large-scale, multi-language content workflows moving across EMEA — validation, metadata governance, automated delivery — including through the UK launch of Disney+.

2014 — 2016

Senior Technical Operator

Canis Media / Comux UK

Broadcast and digital media operations for a national network — content monitoring, fault handling, and service continuity in a 24/7 environment.

2010 — 2013

Preservation & Access Technician

Media Archive for Central England

Digitised and preserved film and video archives from the ground up — metadata built in SQL, structured storage, the whole system behind a working collection.

REEL 03AI & content workflow, in practice

Formal media-production study, independent production work, professional broadcast environments, and visual projects running alongside all of it — the complete content journey, start to finish.

Concept→Creation→Editing→Enhancement→Asset management→Adaptation→Distribution

Day to day: AI image generation and enhancement, copywriting and refinement, background and scene creation, and rapid iteration between creative directions — another set of hands alongside Adobe and Canva, not a shortcut around them.

Also hands-on with WordPress and Shopify — websites, portfolios and e-commerce environments — plus the metadata, version control and file discipline that keep a growing asset library usable rather than a mess.

REEL 04What I bring

Creative & AI-fluent

AI image generation, enhancement and copy refinement, used alongside Adobe and Canva — not instead of them.

Content discipline

Digital asset management, metadata, version control and content lifecycles, handled properly, at volume.

Technical-to-consumer translation

Turning complicated product or technical detail into copy and imagery a customer responds to.

Multi-channel output

Adapting a single asset for Amazon, retailer sites, social and print without losing brand consistency.

Commercial awareness

Independent and organised across multiple concurrent projects, with a clear eye on commercial outcome.
