Hello.

I'm Jonah, a senior content creative with twenty years of experience across broadcast, the third sector, music, games and TV. I'm a curious and committed storyteller, and I want to make work that enriches people rather than asks something of them. My career began as an editor, and I never really stopped thinking like one: whatever the project, I keep the audience in mind from the first conversation to the final cut.

I'm currently Group Content Production Manager at Nesta, the research and innovation foundation, leading on The Policy Fix and building an in-house workflow for content production and strategy. Before this I was at The Alan Turing Institute, the national institute for data science and AI, where I led all video and audio content. My work spans public-facing films and podcasts, social content, live event production and documentary storytelling for public, industry and policy audiences. I conceived and produced Too Long Didn't Read, a public engagement podcast on AI and technology, writing and presenting more than twenty episodes in close collaboration with researchers.

Before that I spent over a decade freelancing across broadcast, documentary and digital content, working with the BBC, Netflix, Disney, Greenpeace and a range of independent production companies. I was often brought in to shape story and structure out of complex material and take projects through to delivery under pressure. The work ranged from a live Royal Wedding edit that became the BBC's most-viewed social clip of the year, to a Canal+ feature documentary released in cinemas, to environmental films screened at Glastonbury.

I'm drawn to work rooted in public good: science communication, research, environmental storytelling and social change. I think about how content builds trust and understanding as much as how it looks and sounds. I recently completed a course in Creative Science Communication and Public Engagement at the University of the West of England, and one in Strategic Brand Identity and Brand Experience at the University of the Arts London.

Mostly, I like to learn and build. I follow ideas into areas next to my main work, and I make things: apps, AI workflows, and better ways of producing and running content. Building something is usually how I understand it. When I'm not at my desk you'll find me making music, woodturning, running spoon-carving workshops, volunteering as a Befriender for Age UK or making content for my local food bank.

If you're working on something and want to communicate it with care, clarity and enthusiasm, I'm always happy to talk.
