About me

I am an aspiring Lighting Designer, with 8 years experience in Theatre Technician work (Amateur and Professional), covering Lighting, Sound, AV and Pyrotechnics.

Of these fields, Lighting is my more specialised field, but I am competent enough to carry out work in any of these fields.

I have recently focused on training as an Electrician as well as keeping myself working in the Entertainment Industry and I believe this makes me a very strong candidate for any jobs that require a Temporary Electrical System to be put in place for an Entertainment event, and I have good knowledge of both BS7671 for Electrical Installation and BS7909 for any installations that are of the Temporary nature.

I strive to complete any job given to me to the highest degree possible.

I am competent with programming a vast range of LX Consoles covering ETC, GrandMA, Zero 88, Avolites, High End Systems & more.

Crew:
The industry of Film and Television has always interested me from a very young age, so when it came to choosing my career options it felt natural to choose to train in media production to some extent. My main background is in Lighting and Video Production/Post-Production, and although I haven't had much experience working professionally in Film & TV, I have always continued to partake in this as a hobby and wish to take the further step to work in this field professionally.
