About

Graduated in July 2017 with an MA in Theatre Design from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

I have been working as a freelance Set and Costume Designer and as an assistant in the theatre industry until 2020 when I joined ScreenSkills as an Art Department trainee.

I have a hands on practical approach to my work, with a keen eye for detail and strong model making skills. I am looking for opportunities to transfer my skills further in this industry.
