About me
A freelance creative designer who has worked on projects ranging from opera, carnival and musicals to installations, outdoor festivals and immersive plays. Roles include set and costume design, dresser, assistant designer, installation assistant, costume supervisor as well as AutoCAD draughtsperson and model maker.The ability to work individually or collaboratively across theatre and performance comes naturally to me, and the past 2 years as a graduate and freelancer has seen me explore my potential throughout the various roles I have taken on.
I have bee fortunate enough to take my work and apply myself to some brilliant community and outreach projects as well as improve my own craft through attending events and masterclasses.
I am confident when working and handling other designers' project work as an assistant and equally as consistent with my own design work. I hope to further develop my craft, skills and style through more opportunities in set and costume designing for productions to enable me to continue learning through each project I undertake.
