Give me your socials and watch them bloom.

On both accounts, the best results came from following the evidence: what people watch, save and share. I'll bring the same habit to your brand from day one.

BA Drama · 2:1

I trained as a director, so I think about every brief like a scene: who's watching, and what should they feel.

I'm Chloe, a creative based in Hull and originally from West Yorkshire. I've been shooting and editing photo and video for nearly a decade, and I've run social media, built brand identities and designed print for businesses and societies.

I keep a close eye on the analytics. I don't just count likes; I look for the trends, sounds and formats people actually stop for, then make more of what works and drop what doesn't.

I studied Drama at university, spending three years directing and working across lighting, sound and costume. That backstage range is why I'm comfortable owning a project from concept to final cut.

I'm a lifelong horror fan, which is probably why I care so much about mood, lighting and the moment before the reveal.

How I work

In four acts
  1. Brief

    Agree the goal, the audience and where the work will live.

  2. Concept

    Moodboards, shot lists and brand direction to sign off.

  3. Shoot & design

    Filming, photography and design produced together so they match.

  4. Launch

    Final files cut and sized for every channel, ready to post.

Let's make something unforgettable.
