I am an aspiring art director who is passionate about cinema and creating the worlds that bring the stories to life. I have experience of creating graphics for television, making props and painting faux textures for scenery. I also have experience of working in theatre, and events such as music festivals and escape rooms.

I am seeking work as an art department assistant, particularly on films involving set builds as I would love to learn more about set fabrication and this design process.
