About me
Theatre professional:Experience in Production Design and Art Direction, from design, model-making, software use to construction, painting, decorating and set and stage dressing. I have worked in film, music video, photography, theatre and stage as well as experimental film productions.
I have led and collaborated with various art departments on a range of projects, from film both on studio set builds and locations, music videos, photography shoots and theatre stages. As a current third year Film Production student at the Arts University of Bournemouth, specialising in Production Design, I have used this environment to practice and fulfil various roles within art department projects. Through this I have developed skills that allow me to design and build, decorate and dress in studio sets and stages as well as locations. Collaborating and working on projects led by other individuals both part of and outside of university has enabled me to understand and experience varying roles within Production Design and had the opportunity to develop practical set building and decorating skills as well as the intricacies of design development.
Projects that I have worked on outside of university productions vary in form. This includes having Production Designed a commissioned Channel 4 Random Acts short film Pool, directed by Julia Alcamo, which consisted of two different studio set builds. I assisted the Production Designer for the official Marble Empire music video of their song Head Above the Water, shot on location. I have also recently been given the opportunity to Production Design the official music video of Hurricane No.5 by Emily Barker, UK Artist of the Year winner at the 2018 UK Americana Awards for her Sweet Kind of Blue album with Grammy winning producer Matt Ross-Spang, which will involve set builds on exterior locations.
From Fine Art studies rather than media studies during my education for the International Baccalaureate Bilingual Diploma at the International School of Paris, I have been able to use various techniques and practical methods of creating that come from these studies to then apply in set and stage design and creation. As a current metal and woodwork workshop assistant supervisor, I have also been able to further familiarise, develop and practice use of tools and large machinery used to create and achieve projects, as well as from work on previous set builds.
I have fulfilled various roles within the art departments for different projects, for which I have also been responsible for leading art and show crews and teams, translating concepts into feasible creations through the development of research, modelmaking, design, installation, décor, Art Direction and Production Design. These are experiences which I am very passionate to further explore, develop and contribute to by working on projects for both set and stage design and creation.
