I am a writer. My last commission was to write the first online play for the Royal Shakespeare Company in association with Google. The project appeared on 25 million tweets, trended 4th in the world and won two 'Internet Oscars'. My feature film, Miranda, starred Christina Ricci, sold in 22 countries and won the Audience Award (main prize) at London's Raindance Film Festival. I have since been commissioned to write original scripts for many of the UK's top film and TV compaines. My adaptation of Hemingway's Pulitzer Prize winning novella, The Old Man and the Sea, won the Award for Artistic Excellence at England's biggest arts festival. I have written 12 plays for the stage, which have received kind reviews in the broadsheets. "What impresses most is Young's deft, funny and deep command of the contemporary idiom", The Evening Standard. "A fascinating playwright", The Times.

As an artist, I was commissioned to design and produce a touring exhibition for the Cultural Olympiad, a series of artworks in a folly (complete with horse graveyard) for the Landmark Trust and a trophy that hovered in mid-air.

I have spent ten years working for photographic agencies and have been sent on assignments to Tanzania, Chile (where I spent one month living in a cave) and Pakistan (where I led 70 people up the Himalayas).
