About me
I bring extensive experience in design and management, developed as an architect and graphic designer, to designing for the theatre.Good design, based on a creative interpretation of the author's ideas, fosters a richer theatrical performance while enhances an audiences enjoyment and involvement with the work.
Both the clothing and settings should be integral to the scene. They are the framework for the actions. They can, where appropriate, exaggerate the meaning of the words spoken, the songs sung and the movements executed on stage.
Additional skills:
Utilisation of computers as a tool for realising designs and in the production of docuements for their implementation:
* 2D and 3D Computer CAD design,draughting, rendering and animations with both AutoCAD and Microstation
* Graphic design using Photoshop, Paintshop Pro and Illustrator
* Web design using HTML, Dreamweaver and Flash
