After graduating from Technological University Dublin, my graduate short film musical Lost For Words screened at over 30 international film festivals, including the Academy and BAFTA-qualifying Cork Film Festival. The film and its script won numerous accolades, including an award at the New York International Independent Film Festival. 

My portfolio as a director now spans commercials, animation, music videos, online content, and video installations. My stylised vision has led me to create content for commercial clients as diverse as Rimmel London, RuPaul, Disney, Universal and The Royal Opera House. My dedication to my craft also earned me membership to BAFTA Connect in 2023. In addition to my commercial work, I created an immersive, fashion film installation in East London gallery 'fiftyfour'. I also excelled in production design with Claire Oakley's award-winning short Beautiful Enough.

However, my true passion lies in narrative filmmaking as both a writer/director, particularly stories that fuse magical realism and LGBTQIA+ themes with a dash of irreverent humour. In my narrative work, I adore fantastical world-building and stories that celebrate joy and uplift audiences. 

Empress ClawScream is a self-funded LGBTQIA+ short film and my first narrative project after numerous years directing commercial content. Empress ClawScream was selected to Festival Formula's slate in 2023, and won Best Sci-Fi Film at the Berlin Short Film Festival and Best Hair & Make-Up at the British Short Film Awards. Empress ClawScream has screened at numerous international film festivals, including the BIFA-qualifying Beeston Festival (where it was nominated for both Best In Festival and Best Pride Film), the Academy Award-qualifying deadCenter, the British Council-listed Poppy Jasper International Film Festival, and the Melbourne Queer Film Festival.

TETHERED is a fantasy short that visualises strands of Irish folklore and family drama by interweaving live-action, animation, and modern dance. My script for TETHERED was a finalist in 2018's Film In Cork scheme, and the initial production costs were raised through a successful crowdfunding campaign on Seed & Spark. TETHERED debuted in 2023 at the Kerry International Film Festival and has screened at numerous festivals, including IndieCork, Waterford International Film Festival and Beeston Film Festival. TETHERED has picked up 7 awards, including a Jury's Special Recognition Award at Ennis International Fantastic FilmFest, Best Actress and Best Music/Score at Dublin International Short Film and Music Festival, and Best Production Design at Ignite Film Festival.

CHARITY! was selected in 2023 for BFI NETWORK Short Film funding - and was one of 37 short film projects funded out of 1116 submissions that year. This LGBTQIA+ musical comedy short film is about a closeted Irish pop princess wrestling with the dark side of fame. CHARITY! stars the Irish actress Niamh McCormack (House of Guinness) - and will launch its film festival journey this year. 

In 2025, I worked as a shadow director on Season 2 of the RTE fantasy series The Unreal, and I was selected for the starGAZE talent development programme, receiving mentorship from the BAFTA-nominated comedy director Jim Archer (Brian and Charles) and a Lab day at the GAZE International LGBTQIA Film Festival 2025. 

I was also thrilled that the feature-length version of Empress ClawScream was selected for Screen Ireland's Perspectives scheme, and it's been a joy to continue writing and developing the project.

In 2026, I was selected for Screen Ireland's Screen Mentoring Scheme, where I was especially humbled to be matched with the internationally revered filmmaker Lucile Hadžihalilović (The Ice Tower). I was also chosen to represent Ireland at Screen Talent Europe’s 2026 Directors Village residency in the Netherlands, where I developed my latest short film, Ernest, alongside international coaches and filmmaking peers. 

Alongside Ernest, I'm currently working on an animation bible for Murúch, an LGBTQIA+ folk horror animated short film, predominantly in the Irish language, that I'm developing with the incredible animator Michael Lomon, formerly of Cartoon Saloon.
