About Sophie Willox
“I'm Sophie Willox, a University of Sunderland graduate and full-time videographer at Foresight - a creative agency in Sunderland.
“Alongside our client work, Foresight has grown into a training provider for emerging creatives across the North East, known as 'Creators Academy' - we deliver masterclasses with industry experts, workshops, and Adobe Certified Professional Courses in creative editing software.
“My love for writing stems from my love for storytelling (and my hyper fixations with multiple T.V. shows and story based games throughout the progression of my life!)
“I’ve always been drawn to short films, radio dramas, and music as a form of narrative, and really enjoy being able to tell a story that can be interpreted through many different perspectives. Big fan of a story that can make me cry and ruin my mood for days!”
Listen to Sophie Willox on the ArtyParti podcast:
Sophie joined our 'Creative Industries Week' panel in 2025, sharing about her journey into her role with Foresight, highlights from her career, and actionable advice for emerging media producers.
“All I need is just one to click, and that will be it for me.
“If you've got to spend time editing little videos about prison break to music in your room, to practice editing, then that's okay.
“And if you've got to like start writing fan fiction about whoever, because you want to start getting into writing, then that's okay too.
“It's all training at the end of the day. It's all investing in yourself.”
