About me
I am a set and costume designer for theatre based between Nottingham and London, UK.I was a beneficiary of the Royal Shakespeare Company's Trainee Designer Scheme 2015/16, studied MA Theatre Design at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and have a BA in English Literature from the University of Sheffield.
I have worked as a designer, associate and assistant for theatre on over 60 productions in the last 7 years and in that time I have been constantly honing and refining my craft. Whether this has been through learning new modelmaking techniques, producing scale drawings for a touring show or making an important stage prop for a production, I have always had an insatiable desire to keep expanding my knowledge base and using it to improve upon each successive project.
At the core of my practice I hold a belief in theatre as a collaborative art form and I am fascinated by experimenting with new ways of incorporating practical lighting, video and sound into design projects, working closely alongside other artists to do so.
