About me

I am a visual story teller with work that spans over live performance and screen. Creating detailed worlds with high impact that are grounded by the text, source material and the clients vision, so each project has its own unique personality.

Film & TV:
Over the years I have enjoyed a career crossing between the two mediums, applying my skills in a way that continuously develop and strengthen with each project and team I collaborate with. When the pandemic hit not being one to remain idol I was able to re-group my skills and enjoy a new burst of experiences and career opportunities.

Theatre & Live Arts:
With +15 years in the in industry I have designed set and costumes for opera, musical theatre, classic theatre, dance, and immersive experiences in the UK and Europe. With a diverse skillset I can communicate my vision cohesively with all departments when realising a design, inspiring teams to take creative ownership so a dynamic and collaborative process can create a happy and smooth (as possible) process in a high stress industry.
