My story.

Phoebe is a deaf video editor working towards a career in TV and film, with a background in high-end television (HETV), theatre, and the charity sector. Her creative work explores themes of identity and communication, drawing on her experiences as a cochlear implant wearer to offer a unique perspective on navigating both deaf and hearing worlds.

​

Driven by a commitment to accessibility and inclusivity, Phoebe has created work that resonates with diverse audiences and amplifies the voices of the deaf community. She is passionate about advocacy and dedicated to promoting greater representation in the arts, using storytelling as a tool to foster connection and understanding.

​

In 2024, Phoebe worked with Warp Films as the second assistant editor on Reunion, a four-part BBC series directed by Luke Snellin. The experience was incredibly eye opening and a major learning curve.

Phoebe had the opportunity to observe how different editors approach post-production, and as someone they hadn’t worked with before - a deaf editor, they were able to share and learn from each other’s strengths. Their expertise in sound and music complemented Phoebe's strong visual awareness, allowing them to collaborate in a way that highlighted both auditory and visual storytelling, with a particular focus on continuity and detail.

​

Phoebe's work has gained recognition, with short films selected for the London Breeze Film Festival, Leeds International Film Festival, and LA Indie Short Film Festival.

​

Alongside her editing work, Phoebe works as a freelance Creative Lead for a TV commissioning board based in London. In this role, she supports the development of innovative content, leads on creative direction, and helps shape visual storytelling across projects.

​

Phoebe holds a degree in Visual Communication: Film and Animation and brings a strong creative eye to every stage of post-production.
