I've always been a writer - whether it was as the lyricist for my teenage garage band or as the sought-after author of pitch decks during my advertising career. I've written novels, including the techno-thriller Click to Kill, but my desire has always been to write for the screen.

My favourite commercial projects always involved the creation of new products. I love inventing things and my interest in film and TV is to be the originator of a story and then work with others to bring it to life.

I grew up in Seattle, and live in London.
