About me

I have recently graduated from the University of Bolton's Special Effects Development course. Since graduating I have worked 3 months at the prop making company Creation Workshops in Uxbridge making assets for several feature films and television shows as well as contributing towards some display models.
Doing my degree and working at Creation Workshops has left me with skills in woodwork, basic metal work, fibreglassing, mould making, mould running and sculpting in a variety of clay mediums as well as some skills in illustration and design drawing.
Out of all of these skills I would say the one I enjoy doing the most is sculpting, with a particular emphasis on creature design and creation.
Additional skills:
Although I am not formally trained in any kind of acting, the nature of my university course meant that I frequently modelled make-up and costumes for other students.
As a result I have worn a variety of prothetics make-up such as piece prosthetics and full head masks. I have had both silicone and latex pieces safely applied to me.
I have also worn period costume, a full body creature suit with leg extensions, a suit of armour and served as an animatronic puppeteer while on the course.
Additional information:
My training and work so far have been in film but I am now seeking to branch out into different areas of work in a bid to further my skills and abilities.
