About me
I am a freelance Set, Costume & Puppet Designer. I work predominantly within Theatre, however my design skills are transferrable for other mediums and industries such as TV, film and events. I have always been extremely creative, and hands-on as a designer. As a result, I am also confident in actually realising my designs – my skill-set includes costume sourcing, alterations, construction, scenic art, prop making and set dressing. I love to keep variety within my portfolio and so am always looking for new and challenging opportunities.Referees:
Available on request.
Additional information:

My recent work includes 'A Christmas Carol' at The Barn Theatre, 'The Little Prince' at Omnibus Theatre and 'Legally Blonde' at The Arts Educational.
