About Me

My name is Jo, a freelance Assistant Buyer. I have experience in Film and TV, most recently drama's, sitcoms, lifestyle and entertainment, as well as commercials, promo's and installations, advertising and editorials. 

I enjoy working in high pressure environments in a close-knit team, working alongside production buyers and the set decorator to deliver the vision of the production designer. I am able to prioritise tasks under time constraints, paying strong attention to detail when sourcing props for action and set decoration, to best portray time, place, character and narrative of a story.
