Hi, I'm Matt
Content Creative & filmmaker
What do you want to know?
What experience have I got?
20 years of experience in the creative industry,
Building audiences for brands, shows, events, and more, through concepts, writing, directing and editing.
​
I've created lasting engagement, with content that has long-term viewing growth. With films featuring at film festivals, and I’m an award winning creative in design.
​
I’ve always combined a filmmaker’s eye with a designer’s, which makes working within a brand’s visual language easy and collaborating with other creative teams seamless.
​
And, clients keep inviting me back.
What's it like to work with me?
In a world of fast-paced mayhem, I pride myself on being a calming head. For me, creative problem-solving comes before picking up a camera.
I’m an open book. I value honesty and open communication, creating positive relationships with clients and an inclusive environment for everyone involved.
But those are my words... in the words of people I have worked with;
“Working with Matt gives you complete confidence that your projects are in safe hands. He has a great eye for detail and creativity, always delivering work that makes a real impact. I’d highly recommend working with him.”
Josh, Panavision
"Matt captured the energy of the performers and the atmosphere of the event, and made something so cinematic. Infused with glamour and an immersive grace that we can use to grow our business."
Bryony and Emma, Crowd Pleaser Productions
"I've had the pleasure of working on a range of projects with Matt over the years. Matt's expertise always puts clients and subjects at ease, and his willingness to collaborate with his agency partners and clients to deliver the best results speak for itself in the quality of his work."
Chris, Gather London
"His creative thinking made something beautiful that we're all so proud of. And Matt and his team created an amazing atmosphere on location for all of us.
It was a joy!"
Sophie, Cath Kidston
"I was blown away with what Matt created for my debut album. He filmed a BTS doc, directed a music video, created a bespoke typeface, and designed the vinyl sleeve. He has such passion and skill in so many areas, I feel so lucky to have found him. He brought the work to a place beyond my imagining."

A bit about me and my creative journey in my own words.
With over 20 years of experience across film, video production and design, I'm a multidisciplinary creative working as a director, designer, editor and content creator. My background spans brand design, typography, motion graphics, animation and filmmaking, allowing me to move comfortably between creative strategy, concept development and hands-on production.
​
I have worked for a number of creative agencies in full time positions – lead designer, design director, producer, film director, editor and creative director. With each role having the same focus, to create engaging work for the client.
During my time freelancing, I worked with clients directly (forming my own teams in a kind of agency set up), as well as within production companies, ad agencies and design studios. As a filmmaker with extensive experience in graphic design, I have often been able to utilise the different skill sets for the benefit of the client, and for the process. With a collaboration mind set coming naturally, connecting with the broader creative teams.
​
Concept creation, writing, storyboarding, production management, directing and editing films for brands and social campaigns. Creating engaging moving image, utilising a brands visual language and tone of voice. My experience covers it all, working hands-on and directing teams of creatives to achieve the best results.
​
My work has proudly gained recognition. After creating a brand and promotional editorial designs for a paper company, I was awarded a membership at the International Society of Typographic Designers, a membership only given on the merit of work. And I have enjoyed my short films featuring in film festivals, with cinema screenings – which is always a great honour.
I have extensive experience directing shoots, and managing crews and productions around the world. With experience working across Europe, in Canada, USA, South Korea and China.
Away from commercial work, my love of creative endeavours continues into the art space where I shoot photographic portraits in a very unique style. I also put some focus into running a men`s mental health awareness campaign – this is built around the idea of creativity being used to help people process and express their thoughts. Something I am very proud of.
