| As a designer I have worked on a wide variety of productions from short films to feature length dramas, from commercials to opera, from theatre plays to ballet. From these experiences I have accumulated a wide variety of skills which have all proved useful in other projects.
However one of the most fascinating aspects of design is something that is universally applicable to any project, and that is the way in which design is a fusion of psychology and creativity. A designer must strive to understand the psychological language of colour fabrics, textural surfaces, shapes and spatial dynamics thus giving an audience a more defined message as to what the piece is really about whilst producing a beautiful visual experience.
Some additional skills I have gained during my career are Technical Drawing, Model Making, Scenic Painting, Set Construction, and Prop making (including use of metals and fibre glass). I have also built up a healthy network of contacts useful to my profession.
