I've been producing digital content since 2012, primarily for flagship BBC brands like Blue Peter and BBC News. Now I run Studio 91 Media, a video production agency on a mission: to create content that is good for platforms, good for people and good for the planet. When I'm not behind a camera, I can often be found playing cello at weddings or riding a three-wheeled cargo bike called Babs.
2022 was an exciting year for us in lots of ways. Not least because we landed our biggest project yet, in the form of a BBC commission. BBC Teach chose us to produce eight brand new science videos for UK primary schools. The result, Show Me the Science, is available now and we hope it […]

You’re having fun sharing square photos on Instagram, only to be told it’s “no longer a square photo-sharing app”. Come on, The Internet. Slow down and let […]
I originally wrote this as a guest blog for the lovely people at Marketing Stockport, but I’m posting it here as well as I think it’s required reading for anyone working in marketing or communications who might need to upload video content from time to time. The golden rule is to take your time. Don’t […]
We LOVE it! Literally had goosebumps watching it, it’s awesome. WAGGGS, AKA the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, has been a client of ours since the height of lockdown in early 2021. The difference this time around is that we actually got to do some filming ourselves. Our previous video projects for […]
UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: We’re now officially a Climate Positive company, which means we’ve offset at least 150% of our carbon emissions. Thanks to our partners at ON A MISSION for facilitating our carbon compensation through their worldwide reforestation projects. DISCLAIMER: this post starts off boring but gets VERY COOL by the end…bear with me. […]
We love it when we get to work with clients who share our values of putting people and planet ahead of profits. We also love it when we get to film animals. This project combined both those things in one happy marriage, as we documented one of Tyler Grange’s Community Days at Farms for City […]
Before I get into the nitty gritty of producing video without sound, let me make something abundantly clear. I LIKE AUDIO. I’m a sucker for a good podcast. I have a degree in music. I took a module in sound design as part of that degree. Oh thank you for asking, I got a first. […]
