I am a graduate from LIPA ( Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts) with a BA Honours degree in Theatre & Performance Technology from 2015.

I have experience of working on Plays, Musicals, Dance, Puppetry, Pantomime, Music Performances and designs within the Corporate sector.

I am interested in working on a variety of different productions and enjoy the exciting challenges that each different one brings! I am great at thinking on my feet and working at a high speed, Fringe & 1 Day touring productions have all taught me this essential skill!

I won the ALD Michael Northen award for work on previous productions and I continue to work upon fresh and new ideas for each design. Over the past 12 months I have designed lighting over 21 different productions all throughout the UK.
