I am a writer and broadcaster with a deep-seated passion for film and video games. I'm the co-creator and co-host of the podcast Ghibliotheque, which provides an in-depth exploration of Studio Ghibli's iconic Japanese animations. This podcast was transformed into a best-selling book, "Ghibliotheque - The Unofficial Guide to Studio Ghibli," published in September 2021. Subsequently, we released "The Ghibliotheque Anime Movie Guide" in October 2022.

Between 2018 and 2022, I was involved in commissioning and producing the short-form video essay series "Inside Cinema" and "Inside Games" for BBC Arts and BBC iPlayer, earning a Broadcast Digital Award nomination. In addition to producing, I also contributed by writing and presenting episodes like "Studio Ghibli Magic," "Burton's Gotham," and "Famous Last Words," and I directed a 30-minute special episode titled "Inside Games: Special Characters."

My role as the host of the weekly Little White Lies review show, "Truth & Movies," spanned over four years. I have also hosted podcast series for notable clients, including the British Independent Film Awards and Prime Video UK. My written work has been featured in numerous publications such as Sight & Sound Magazine, Little White Lies, and Empire Magazine. Additionally, I've hosted events at prestigious venues like the British Film Institute, the British Museum, Somerset House, and the Barbican Centre, among others.
