About
I have previously worked at events for around fifteen years and returned to my studies as a mature student from which I graduated with a BA Hons in Theatre Design in 2016. Over the last few years I have decided that I would like to apply and develop my immediate skill-set in film and scripted T.V. In the second half of last year I landed my first few roles to which I hope to add to. I am fascinated with the creating of worlds, it's what really drives me. I am an obsessive researcher - I love cramming my brain with facts and learning new information - no matter how geeky and random it might seem to others - this information is what improves my knowledge and awareness of what I am trying to create. My career aims would be to a successful Set Decorator/Dresser or Production Designer. I have worked with the BFDG in addressing the needs of Newcomers in terms of mentoring support and generally I'm really keen to be a part of the networking and support for people entering the industry as I make my own journey.
