Freddie is a freelance videographer, editor and colourist and a published photographer. Her work documents cultures and lifestyles of communities in obscure and often underground locations, focusing on representation and uncensored storytelling through image.

A First-Class Honours graduate from The Cass School of Art, Architecture and Design, she was awarded the Chris Rowley prize for her third-year documentary; an exploration of the Nomadic music of Southern Morocco and the Sahara Desert. Her more recent work with the collective They Came Before Us was part of an exhibition reimagining the untold stories of five prominent BAME British women. She has also been part of the short film Breaking the Sun for BBC New Creatives in collaboration with the ICA.
