Jan 2026 – present
“What Do You Do?” is a jobs and careers podcast dedicated to demystifying careers we don’t know much about, and exploring unique approaches on ones we think we do. Each episode, I’ll be having honest conversations about what these careers actually involve.
If you’re looking to hire a specific service provider, figure out your next career move, or just want to have a nosey about other people’s jobs, this podcast is for you!
Dandelion Video Production
Jul 2024 – present
Over 15 years, I’ve worked with national and global companies, delivering videos that not only look great, but achieve strategic results.
Now I’m using what I learned to empower startups, small businesses and charities, and help tell their stories in ways that feel true to them whilst, just as importantly, achieving their goals.
I co-founded dandelion because I noticed those organisations have a harder time producing high-quality videos, and I have the skills and experience to change that.
