I've watched a rewritten story free a child from her fears. I've seen a script crack a room wide open. And I've experienced what happens when storytelling is honest enough to change the people sitting in front of it.
For more than 15 years, I've worked across film, television, and theatre as a writer, actor, and producer, building stories that connect emotionally and leave a lasting impact. I hold a Master's degree in Screenwriting from Falmouth University and a Licentiate in Performing Arts from Trinity College London.
My work has taken me from stages in Hong Kong to South African screens including Scandal!, Generations: The Legacy, Binnelanders, and Lioness. I've written plays, developed original screen projects, and continue to create new work for both stage and screen, including an original musical in collaboration with composer and lyricist Nathan Ro, while producing new theatrical work in South Africa.
What drives me most is the process of taking an idea, something half-formed and deeply personal, and shaping it into a story that audiences can see, hear, and feel for themselves.
Stories are complicated things. Sometimes they arrive fully formed. Sometimes they're just a scene, a voice, or a feeling you can't shake. My job is helping shape those ideas into work that connects with people.
Whether you need a writer, collaborator, mentor, performer, or voice artist, this is where I come in.
You have the idea. Maybe it's a play, a film, a television series, or a musical. Maybe it exists as voice notes, scattered scenes, or something you've been carrying around for years.
I work with writers, producers, creatives, and companies to develop emotionally grounded, production-ready scripts for stage and screen. From concept development and structure to dialogue and rewrites, I help shape stories that feel alive, honest, and audience-ready.
Drama, comedy, thriller, horror, musical theatre, family entertainment — I love finding the heartbeat of a story and building from there.
Let's Build Your Story →Sometimes the problem isn't talent. It's clarity.
You know there's something good in the script, but it's not landing yet. That's where I can help.
I mentor writers through story development, structure, character work, dialogue, and creative confidence. My approach is practical, collaborative, and honest. No intimidating industry jargon. No ego. Just thoughtful guidance from someone who understands both the creative process and how difficult writing can sometimes feel.
Whether you're starting from scratch or deep in rewrites, I help you uncover what the story is really trying to say.
Work With Me →Acting was my first love, and it continues to shape the way I write, direct, and tell stories.
My work spans theatre, television, film, and live performance across South Africa and Hong Kong, with appearances in Scandal!, Generations: The Legacy, Binnelanders, and Lioness.
As a performer, I'm drawn to work that feels truthful, emotionally intelligent, and deeply human. I bring strong script instincts, collaborative energy, and a genuine love for the craft into every rehearsal room and production.
View Acting Portfolio →A good voice-over is never just about the voice. It's about connection, rhythm, emotion, and knowing how to tell the story behind the words.
I provide voice work for commercials, narration, animation, audiobooks, corporate content, eLearning, and character-driven projects, with a performance background that allows me to adapt naturally to tone, audience, and style.
Warm, grounded, theatrical, conversational, comedic, dramatic — whatever the project needs, the story always comes first.
Listen to My Work →We can't say what yet, but something new is taking shape. Something exciting. Something worth waiting for.
