About the Project

Jo Smyth is a television editor specialising in drama who’s worked on some of the biggest hits of recent years including His Dark Materials, The Witcher and The Man Who Fell To Earth.

This efficiently simple yet visually heavy site was worked on as part of my employment at FenechDigital Limited.
