Other credits include HORRIBLE HISTORIES for Lion TV/CBBC, ODDBODS for One Animation, live action sitcom TED’S TOP TEN for Zodiak Kids and CiTV, and multiple episodes on a new animated comedy series THE HEROIC QUEST OF THE VALIANT PRINCE IVANDOE for Sun Creature Studios/Cartoon Network, and COZMO AND FRIENDS for Sutikki. He is currently writing on mega hit BLUEY for Ludo Studios and BBC Studios.

He has previously been shortlisted for the Alfred Bradley Bursary Award with BBC Radio Drama North, and undertook a three month development process with a mentor.
