In April 2025 my short film Prosopagnosia was chosen to screen in the V&A Museum in Dundee. The screening was for Autism Awareness month and the short screened on a loop in the Jupiter Auditorium. I lived in Dundee for many years and left just before the museum was built. It was a very special experience to go back and see the film in a city that means a lot to me. Some photos from the exhibition are below –
Two of my short films are streaming on the ReelAbilities channel for UK Disability History month. ReelAbilities is a New York based disability focussed film festival. The festival has screened several of my films, but is streaming What It Feels Like and Coming Out Autistic specifically for UK Disability History Month. I am delighted that both those films were chosen and honoured that they are being highlighted during an important month.
My latest short film Keith was released in early 2025. Throughout the year the film screened in many film festivals and also won Best Animation Award at the Dublin Smartphone Film Festival and Best Film at the Lived Perspectives Film Festivals. Other screenings took place at the Edinburgh Short Film Festival (where it was nominated for Best Scottish Film), Cinephone – International Smartphone Film Festival (where it was nominated for Best Animation), Gaze Film Festival and London Queer Fringe Festival.
The award for the Lived Perspectives Film Festival was particularly nice, as it was woven by hand.
There is a sale on at my Etsy shop at the moment. All zines are 50% off. This is only for UK customers.
Overshare is an intimate and personal story that takes an in depth look at what it is like to constantly share your feeling with strangers, loved ones and random people. It is a perzine, comic and handmade zine. It asks questions on when, and if, it is ok to share your emotions with unfamiliar people and those close to you.
The comic does not make a distinct conclusion, instead it draws the reader in and asks if they are complicit in oversharing their feelings. Self-care, solitude and mental health are considered throughout. The story is told from the perspective of the writer and artist, where a queer, autistic and working class point of view is presented.
The zine is available to buy here.
You will like Overshare if you enjoy indie comics, unique stories and personal narratives. It takes elements of Diary Comics, Perzines and Graphic Medicine to give a careful, distinctive and intimate approach to comic book storytelling in a DIY and self-published format.

Having now spent more time than I care to admit on dating apps, I thought it was time to make a zine about my experiences. Biphobic Messages Sent to me on Dating Apps is a perzine that captures some of the ignorance I have received from an array of people that seem to be annoyed by my sexuality.
Biphobic Messages Sent to me on Dating Apps doesn’t look at the psychology or reasoning behind the messages; it gives a selection of the messages and leaves the reader to draw their own conclusions. (This excludes some notes and comments from the author.)
The zine features illustrations and is an experimental and personal comic book zine. Obviously it comes with a massive content warning for biphobia. I catalogue my experiences either different apps do my best not to get angry.
You’ll like Biphobic Messages Sent to me on Dating Apps if you enjoy indie comics, queer comics, perzines and experimental storytelling.
