What’s the most recent piece of tech that you’ve bought?

A space heater, because it chilly. 

What product could you not live without?

Floss.

What’s the best film you’ve seen over the last year?

Sing Sing, Anora, It's What's Inside [below], Lurker.

What film do you think everyone should have seen?

My Neighbor Totoro. 

What’s your preferred social media platform?

If you could only listen to one music artist from now on, who would it be?

Ryuichi Sakamoto, because he's a master and I can listen to his music at any time in any mood. I also grew up playing piano and enjoy learning and playing his songs. 

If there was one thing you could change about the advertising industry, what would it be? 

The barriers to entry for new, exciting voices. It's an industry that can often feel insular, and as someone who has been on both agency and production company side – who has long been inspired by the advertising work of some of my favourite directors – I've seen how it can sometimes be a restrictive place for emerging talent to break in and flourish.
