Hello everybody. I'm an autistic screenwriter who specialises in writing complex, nuanced characters. I've always wanted to be a storyteller of some kind and eventually settled on screenplays. It took me a while to get the hang of them since my original writing style was very different but being on the spectrum has helped my storytelling become disciplined and focussed.

However, although I'm good at putting ideas, stories and characters on paper, I hate putting my face on camera (the photo's only here because I thought it was mandatory), I struggle with social interactions and I constantly wonder if I'm stepping over a line that I'm not aware of. I try to be professional but struggle with exactly how professionalism is defined.

In 2022, I became a Quarter Finalist in the Santa Barbara International Screenplay Awards.

My favourite actress is Jenna Coleman. My favourite actor fluctuates between Anthony Hopkins and the late John Hurt, Robin Williams and Laurence Olivier. My favourite screenwriter is Steven Moffat. My favourite filmmaker fluctuates between George Lucas, James Cameron and the late Stanley Kubrick.
