As Head of Innovation at Welsh production company Triongl, she leads the development of Sgript, a pioneering platform using human-centred design, responsible AI and emerging technology to rethink how film and television are produced.

With over 15 years’ experience spanning academia and the creative industries, Helen combines deep research expertise with hands-on production experience. She holds a PhD in Film and Television Studies from Aberystwyth University and has led numerous collaborative R&D projects bringing together creative businesses, academics and technology partners.

Her work focuses on inclusive design, audience research and digital innovation, with a particular interest in using technology to solve real-world challenges for creative teams and audiences.

At Triongl, Helen is passionate about using technology and evidence-led innovation to address real-world challenges within the creative industries. Her work focuses on ensuring that emerging technologies are human-centred, practical and meaningful, with innovation supporting the people who work within the sector as much as the systems in which they operate.
