About me
Designing for the stage, I initially design around the themes of the story and translate them into a concept which tends to be quite abstract. These concepts then get developed by working with the director and research to draw up potential designs that may be a route to take. I demonstrate ideas through drawing in sketchbooks and using references to visually communicate to the director and others where the designs are going. Drawing is a quicker and more effective way of working for me as I can visualise ideas and workings out that anyone can understand. I also use influences from artists or art movements that end up dictating the style of the set and its at this point that I start to work into the model. While model making I am figuring out how to realise the designs and producing technical drawings, so as I finish the design for the director and actors I am finishing the functionality of how the designs will be achieved.Additional skills:

Highlights

The Leys
I would like to recommend Alex, as both Designer and Scenic Artist. For our junior play in 2010, Alex was brought in as Designer, as well as being in charge of construction. He produced a set with limited budget and resources, which was flexible, creative, delivered to schedule, and fitted the Director's wishes. His designs were developed in a highly professional manner, and his visual presentation was excellent. Prior to this in 2009, we employed Alex as Scenic Artist for our production of 'Little Shop of Horrors', for which he was given relative freedom to design and paint a range of scenic back pieces, as part of a larger setting. He did these to an excellent standard and showed much commitment, again meeting the brief and the deadline.
