Faculty of Pharmaceutical Medicine
Recent work, shooting a day-long symposium. FPM’s main channels are LinkedIn, so horizontal shots were the priority. You can view a supercut of shots I created. All shots of speakers were enhanced using AI audio tools. Captioning is extremely important for accessibility, so I made this a priority. The sting was created by me in After Effects. There was a focus to show off high-tier sponsors and stakeholders in the supercut.
Shot with Sony A6400 and Crane M2 gimbal. Edited in Premiere Pro.
Aberdeen University
I’ve worked with the University of Aberdeen on various projects and in a few different roles. Each has challenged me in different ways, and helped me to develop different skills.
Communications Team
During my time in the Communications team as a Communications Coordinator, I found myself doing a bit of everything. I’ve helped to produce press releases, vital communications, interviews, and social assets for breaking news stories. I’ve been trained in crisis management and copywriting. I use social listening and media monitoring tools to create reports for University leadership to keep them updated on our reputation, which you can see below. I regularly work between departments. I helped to keep the office running smoothly, keeping track of dates, updating and improving our MS Teams, and more.
On the ground at key events, I created live content for social media - which you can view here. Experienced using digital cameras, phone cameras, editing both on desktop using Adobe Premiere or at events using phone editing software such as InShot. Experience using gimbals to get smooth shots.
Science teaching hub clips from live social coverage. Some on-site editing using InShot. There’s some audio issues imposed by Vimeo which were not present on upload originally.
Graduation 2022 clips from live social coverage. Direct from camera to Instagram stories.
Media and social listening examples
Shot in an hour with no script rehearsal from the academic, very quick turnaround short-form video for TikTok and Reels.
3D Motion Design - Blender, After Effects, TouchDesigner
I’ve been obsessed with 3D vfx and rendering since age 14, messing around in the education version of 3DS Max. Now I’m mainly Blender and After effects, but learning more Cinema 4D and Houdini. The importance of motion graphics cannot be overstated in today’s video-centric world.
I also love making Touchdesigner presets since it’s excellent for making motion graphics quickly from static artwork.
With the fast-paced nature of clubs and music - quick turnaround is extremely important to me, so GPU rendering is a number one priority for me.
All Night Passion promotional video + photographs
Short-form promo video (on the right) shot on a Sony A6400 with low light f1.4 lens, stabilised with a Crane M2 Gimbal. Nightclub photography and videography provides numerous challenges - a very busy and tight environment, dark but with intense spotlights, and subjects that are constantly moving.
Really happy with the way this turned out - simple, yet eyecatching and fun with one-day turnaround. There’s always something else for your eye to look at even on repeat watches.
Meld Records
I run an independent record label, focused on underground dance and experimental music. The label has received consistent support from key publications such as DJ Mag, Beatport, Ransom Note, and Definite Party Material. Support from countless DJs such as VTSS, Ben UFO, Anz. Featuring artists such as Lithe, KAVARI, Jennifer Walton, Bolam, Pluralist, Mercy System.
Meld clubnights + other events
Meld was a passion project I started in 2017 originally running events - which developed into a record label. I’ve brought up on-the-rise artists to events and sold thousands of tickets. Developed skills in budget and investment management, social media, paid advertising, managing physical advertising, and running venues and events.

I work closely with designers and artists to develop and guide art direction for promotional material suitable for socials and print.
3D Motion Tracking
I have some experience creating 3D motion-tracked graphics using 3DS max. Excuse the short export - it was very resource intensive.
