Feminist Film Producer & Founder

At four, I started at my local drama club in Chatham. Being on stage felt like home from the first time I stood on one, and it's stayed that way since. I was eight when I started buying fruit from the Big Tesco near my house and reselling it round the village for a profit, and that's where the other half of me started. I didn’t really know the word entrepreneur very well - I just liked the feeling of making something happen out of nothing.

When I was seventeen, I played a real historical figure in an amateur production of Stephen Sondheim's Assassins, and researching her properly, the parts of her story that don't usually make it into the version we're taught, changed what I wanted to do with all of this. From there, I started looking for the stories that get left out.

I trained at the New York Film Academy at twenty, and stayed in the city afterwards, working as a jobbing comedy actor, and came home when Covid made that impossible. That's when I started making my own work instead of waiting to be cast in someone else's. I co-created a fringe play Up Her Sleeve and produced it myself which taught me the foundations of the production side of the industry - building the thing, finding funding, selling tickets, filling a room. A piece of feedback that we received that really stood out to me was from an audience member who told me that her daughter and granddaughter had lived the thing we'd just put on stage, and neither of them had ever seen it talked about properly anywhere else. Enter my plans for Evulve.

Evulve Productions launched in 2022. We’re a feminist, queer-led arts company making film, theatre, podcasts and education that centre stories the industry, and often the education system, leaves out. I produce, direct focus for, and sometimes host all of it. Popcorn & Patriarchy, our podcast made in partnership with Middlesex University, looks at film and culture through a feminist lens. Femi Fest is a twenty four hour theatre festival built to put emerging feminist and queer theatre makers directly in front of industry professionals, something I couldn't find anywhere when I needed it. Film Dreamers exists because I watched too many brilliant first-time filmmakers stall, not for lack of talent, but for lack of anyone showing them the next steps.

Some of that work has travelled further than I expected. I was part of the producing team on The Orphan, a film about grooming within county lines, which reached over a million views in its first two months on YouTube and which we took to a screening at the Houses of Parliament. It went on to win Best Scripted Single at the Royal Television Society East Programme Awards in 2026. Blurred Lines, a short film we made with support from Stevenage Borough Council, premiered in the council chambers themselves. And this year Evulve was named a finalist for Creative StartUp of the Year at the UK StartUp Awards.

I'm represented by Inclusive Talent as an actor, an agency built specifically for disabled performers, because I live with a chronic illness and I've built Evulve with that reality in mind rather than around it. I'm also newer to modelling, building up a portfolio project by project. All of these passions were born from the same love that had me selling fruit at eight and handing out anti-smoking flyers at the village fête not long after: if something isn't working the way it should, you don't wait for permission to try and fix it, you just start.
