Fabia is an award-winning director and writer known for character-driven storytelling with a bright comedic edge. She started out making factual films for the BBC, Channel 4 and Vice before moving into commercials, where she now directs for global brands including Google, Nike and Samsung.

Drawn to humour in all its shapes and sizes, Fabia’s work blends authentic performances with playful, character-driven comedy. Her queer comedy short The Rev was supported by the BFI, premiered at the London Film Festival and was later acquired by Channel 4 after being shortlisted for Best British Short and highly commended at the IRIS Prize.

Alongside her commercial work, Fabia continues to develop projects for film and television. She is currently casting her debut feature - a coming-of-age comedy - and developing her first comedy TV pilot with a London–LA production company. In 2023, she was awarded the First Flights x Kodak Film Fund for Six for Gold, a documentary following a Team GB rhythmic gymnast with Down’s Syndrome on her journey to the Special Olympics.

Fabia is a member of BAFTA Connect and part of the Directors UK Inspire Mentorship Scheme. She is passionate about building inclusive, collaborative sets - and making films that are as funny as they are human.
