About me
As a multidisciplinary designer/maker I am well experienced in a range of art and designdisciplines, and particularly passionate about performance and public space. I have an
aptitude to making in a variety of materials and a good all-round practical knowledge of both
traditional and modern manufacturing techniques and processes. My work in theatre has ranged from design, prototyping, and scale modelling, to scenic art, prop making, and set construction. My film experience, in addition to designing and making, has also included art direction, set dressing, props buying and sourcing, standby and continuity. I am also well versed when it comes to working with textiles, whether this be creating fabric elements as part of a set, bespoke accessories or soft furnishings for events and public spaces, or
non-tradition costume making.
