About me
I graduated from the University of Bolton in 2017 with a first-class degree in special effects for film and TV and I have been lucky enough to have gained experience in a TV advert, a stop-motion production, films and large events since then in industry.I have experience in modelmaking, sculpting, prop making and large scale scenic props, including moulding, casting and painting. I have also done a little personal animatronics work too, involving RC controlled puppets with cable mechanisms and servos. Animatronics is an area I am very interested in as I figured that making my creatures move would be a really fun next step! To be honest though, there’s not really any aspect of creative work that I don’t enjoy, I love all of it! (Yes, even sanding). Sculpting is where I began my creative journey and I developed my skills to incorporate different materials and techniques which in turn resulted in a more diverse portfolio.
I have mostly specialised in prop making as pretty much all of my jobs have been as a prop maker and I really enjoy it! I love meeting new challenges and people and I work well as part of a team or individually. Meeting like-minded creative people keeps me excited to learn something new and I am always developing my skills, eager to use new materials and to learn new techniques. You’ll find that I am a very tenacious worker who loves solving creative puzzles and will happily work crazy hours to get the job done.
