About me

I am passionate about design and theatre, and love being immersed in every aspect of performance, both backstage and onstage! I've been involved in community theatre for three years, and have designed sets for seven community and university musicals and plays. My experience includes designing sets for the Sydney University Dramatic Society's productions of "Is This Thing On?", "The Luscious Con Submarine", and "The Birthday Party" in 2018. As well as designing, building, and running bump-in for these sets, I also took on the role of Assistant Set Designer for other productions run by the society. Most recently, I designed the set for Wyong Musical Theatre Company's production of "Aladdin Jr", the most ambitious and difficult set I have designed thus far. I am currently the Production Designer for Uniting Production's "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown," and am very excited to gain experience in designing costumes as well as the set.
My experience volunteering as Assistant Stage Manager for Gosford Musical Society's productions of Shrek the Musical (2018), Aida (2019), and Les Misérables (2019), as well as being a stage crew member for countless productions, has given me a fantastic insight into the necessity of practical design and functionality in live theatre. It has also taught me valuable skills in collaborating with designers to realise a show onstage in a practical yet stylistic manner.
I am looking to build a professional portfolio beyond my experience in community theatre, and I am eager to get involved in designing for professional productions.
