When I think of writing, I think of freedom—the power to give shape and meaning to ideas through language in a world that is often defined by unpredictability, change and order. Through my work, I have developed a strong interest in crafting dialogue and creating complex, multi-dimensional characters that feel relatable and true to life in our time. I enjoy the challenge of working across mediums and thrive when I can develop ideas from rough beginnings into fully realised stories, particularly within dystopian worlds that carry an undercurrent of crime.
I bring an organised and thoughtful approach to my writing practice, with a strong attention to detail in everything I create—whether working independently or as part of a collaborative effort. I’m open to contributing to new projects, growing professionally, and learning from constructive feedback.
At the heart of it all, I am driven by a desire to tell meaningful stories that connect with people and reflect the shared human experience that defines how we understand others—and, most importantly, ourselves. I believe storytelling is as fundamental to us, as emotions such as love, hate, joy, and sadness are in shaping what makes us human.
The first piece of work I’ve included is part of my final major project, where I created a story bible for Halted, a scripted post-apocalyptic podcast inspired by contemporary dystopian narratives. Drawing influence from works such as Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead and Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us, I outlined the scope of the series through a three-act structure and created detailed character profiles. I also designed the cover art using Canva, applying a colour palette of burnt orange and dark red tones to reinforce the narrative’s themes and sense of hopelessness.
The second project was part of a third-year module, Screenwriting: Writing and Selling the Feature Film. I wrote the first act of a crime film, Cold Justice, focusing on establishing a strong sense of tension and the gradual tightening of circumstances around the main character. Thematically, it draws on the hard-edged 1990s crime dramas, particularly Heat. Careful attention was given to pacing, dialogue, and the construction of a compelling inciting incident to engage the audience.
There’s an old Eastern saying: ‘Don’t push the river — it flows by itself.’ Because as a writer, I’ve learned that some things must simply be allowed to unfold in their own time.
