About me

I started building for set designers in theatre with my work evolving into events and commercial spaces. I'm equally happy realising a designers concept or working directly with a client in a more creative capacity, this works well given my material and construction knowledge. I do enjoy getting hands-on and seeing something take form over time.

I am able to research and create mood boards, design to a presentation stage including 3D rendered pre-visualisations and animated walkthroughs. Going on to conduct site surveys I can create materials / labour budgets and can design efficient production workflows then organise logistics to and from the site including installation and take down / recycling.

I can provide risk assessments & method statements and have developed great supplier relationships offering competitive pricing and next day delivery on materials and tools.
Additional skills:
Having worked on a wide range of projects, a diverse range locations and an increasing range of materials I divide my work into these areas:

Event Set Building: Working with producers & designers I produce sets & props for trade, theatre and immersive events, many of which go on to tour.

Food & Beverage: I've built for festival food concessions and designed & created a number of concept bars and restaurants.

Bespoke Carpentry & Interior Design: Either working with interior designers or direct with the client I create bespoke often one off commissions.
