About

Since graduating from university with a 2:1 in Drama, Theatre and Performance, I have worked on a variety of projects in both film and theatre. I most recently worked with the National Theatre as a grade 3 Prop Maker. Prior to this, I completed an internship with Propworks (Lizzie Props) where I worked on a variety of theatre productions before being hired on as a paid prop maker. In film, I spent a week in the Art Department for Cats the Musical as work experience, where I did model making, set dressing and prop dressing. I also completed work experience a year prior on the set of Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance where I was working as a set dresser for the Greens Department. In addition to working on a variety of other paid and unpaid projects, in 2019 I designed and made three different puppets for a production which went to the Brighton fringe. I have learned a lot of my current skills on the job or through my own research, as I continue to build my skill base with every project I do. I can visualise concepts and ideas and I am very good at thinking on my feet, as I have often had to work my way around problems when using new materials.
