History:
2012-2020: Freelance
2020-2021: Above + Beyond
2021-2025: Draftline Europe
In the suite, I’m known for proactively supporting those around me, whether it’s helping with projects or resolving technical issues—always with editorial craft in mind. I consider myself a problem solver who strives for a high level of creative craftsmanship.
Out of office. I love cycling and I have an unhealthy obsession with punk + hardcore music, whilst often asking those around me what’s actually popular. I enjoy reading 404 Media, televisual and broadcast tech magazines of an evening to keep learning. In short I get obsessed with learning about things that interesting me, whether it’s music, cycling or tech.

It was fantastic working with Jack… highlights were his collaboration, ideas and patience! - Sheldon Bont - The Valley NL
He’s quick thinking, super organised, eager to find creative and technical solutions and has a great relationship with his peers. Jack is able to keep his finger on the pulse of the latest software and technologies, keeping us at the forefront of trends and techniques... - Anita Osborne - Executive Producer.
He has a wonderfully creative attitude towards work, pushing the boundaries of the projects he works on, and adding a special flare to each asset he creates without ever making it feel like "a job he has to do". I have always been impressed with the interesting creative solutions he's had when creating videos and social assets… - Tommasso Fontanella - Global Content & production lead at AbInbev.

I have experience managing and executing proof of concept campaigns for multiple cloud based video editing platforms, including EditShare + Lucidlink. With that experience I have overseen the structure and process of testing with a team of five editors, delivering results to the post production lead. This allowed us to provide a procurement team into making a suitable decision for our department which in turn resulted in an agency wide shift in workflow. With this I became a key individual in rolling out this workflow for Draftline Europe.A highlight with this new workflow has been the event of Global Newsroom's with onsite production + remote post production whilst the automation of files from camera to cloud has taken place, enabling editors to work from camera within minutes.Lucidlink / Overcast / Frame.io + C2C / Evercast / Kyno / MediaInfo / Hedge + Fool-cat / Soundly.Software.
