I am a trained music producer writing both records and sound for film. I am also a freelance researcher for industry innovation across the UK and part of the operations of the not-for-profit 'UKII.'I have been experimenting with music production for over a decade, inspired by Daft Punk and growing up listening to the EDM craze of the 2010s. In 2023, I graduated with a first class honours degree in Creative Music Technology. While studying, I launched Farclose, my own record label, with a concept album compiling 12 artists' interpretation of the genre 'Hauntology.'As part of my work for UKII, I scour the internet looking for the most innovative companies based in the UK. I play an integral part in organising showcases of the talent we seek and have visited industry networking events both as a guest and an exhibitor. I have composed the brand's sonic identity and produce futuristic sound for the films we make promoting UK innovation.

Research And OperationsUkii Oct 2023 - PresentOnlineAs part of UKII, I was part of the task-force that launched the brand with the UKII Innovation Report, sponsored by Verizon Business, on the 30th April 2024. I've learnt an incredible amount about the breadth and diversity of the innovation industry in the UK.I have represented UKII both as an exhibitor and a guest at industry networking events and seek to spread the word and get people involved with our services.I extended my knowledge of Google's web-based editing suite by consolidating large amounts of data and information into spreadsheets to make it easy to understand for colleagues and keep track of companies' web profiles on the report's website.I most enjoyed being able to produce the auditory sting for the UKII brand. Using my experience of creating audio for visuals at university, I crafted audio to both compliment and emphasise visuals to create a convincing and memorable asset which will be used to represent the brand in the future. -
Online AssistantSainsbury'S Sep 2023 - Nov 2023Witney, England, United Kingdom(From the Sainsbury’s website) “As an Online Assistant your role could be on the shop floor, picking our customers’ orders and taking real care in selecting the best quality produce, as if you were shopping for yourself. Putting each order together, you’ll give customers exactly what they’ve asked for. And if we’ve sold out of anything, you’ll choose a replacement that’s the closest match to ensure our customers are never disappointed.” -
Student Technical AssistantBath Spa University Jan 2022 - Jul 2023Bath, England, United KingdomWhile studying for my degree, I worked in my university's equipment loan department, called the 'Asset Store.' The job provided both a technician and customer service role, and is how I found my love for the latter. The store loaned out cameras, microphones, and many other bits of film and stage equipment including lighting, PA back-line systems, tripods, and tracking dollies. I could confidently run the store on my own, processing bookings made by students and staff, and providing customer service including coming up with solutions for PA systems or film shoot scenarios.A main part of my job was processing orders using the software SiSo. I spent a lot of my job streamlining the software to make it easier for customers to find and book the right equipment for their projects. It required me to frequently update information on the website about stock amounts and technical information about the equipment. This was especially important when adding new equipment, as information like serial numbers, replacement costs, and kit inventories needed to be logged on the system.Cameras I worked with include:- Canon EOS C100 cinema camera- Canon EOS 100/550/600/700D photography cameras- Sony A7iii mirrorless DSLR.Microphones I worked with:- AKG C214/314/414 studio vocal condenser microphones- Rode NTG1/3/4 shotgun and boom microphones- Shure SM57/58 stage dynamic microphones. -
