I am the Oscar and BAFTA winning Producer of “Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (if you’re a girl)”. A Kyiv-born British filmmaker and journalist, I’ve been working in TV documentary production and development since 2006. I studied Physics at university and Science Journalism at masters level, getting my first taste of research assisting on Nick Rosen's book "How to Live Off Grid".
 
Since then, I have worked with many major UK production companies on a wide variety of content. With a wealth of experience working with government institutions, NGOs and contributors worldwide, my specialism is tackling big issues through relatable stories and great access.
   
The most important aspect of my work, and my motivation, is a genuine desire to find out what it’s like to live the lives of the people who populate my films. Paired with a thorough practical knowledge of documentary filmmaking and an understanding of the visual power of the medium, I aim to make films that fuse powerful journalism with great heart.

Based in London, I am fully equipped to work from home on development or editing assignments. I am equally happy to work in the office and the field internationally. Or a mix. Please let me know your requirements and we can arrange the best way to work together full- or part-time.
