About me

I am a recent graduate from Nottingham Trent University, with a First Class Honours degree in Theatre Design seeking to transfer and utilise my current skills and knowledge, to acquire an entry-level position in film production.

Since graduating, I have undertaken several filmmaking courses, led by professional directors, to build upon my knowledge of the industry. Through my degree training I gained experience in a wide range of production related roles including: set and costume design, scenic painting, makeup/prosthetics, film and sound editing, and lighting design. I have acquired invaluable expertise relating to the process, and principles, involved in designing for a variety of performance spaces, in addition to developing an adaptability in working with various production contexts and companies. In my final year, I obtained first-hand experience working alongside a team of writers and performers at 'The Television Workshop', Nottingham, developing, and communicating, design schemes and storyboards.

I have been successful in managing and coordinating performers and production teams within both theatre, and film, productions. Fulfilling the roles of director, editor, and lead designer for several devised performances, responsible for researching, developing, and communicating, design schemes and storyboards.

Self-motivated, and hard-working, I am looking for a challenging, professional environment, to further develop my creative skill-set, working on large scale productions at leading companies within the industry.

Additional information:
I believe that my experience, and training, within theatre design has provided the crucial skill-set needed to progress into film. Since graduating, I have sought to explore the environment of moviemaking through film courses led by professional directors. My goal is to further my experience of the production process, and ultimately to push the boundaries of the technology, thereby discovering new methods of storytelling.
