I am a maker, artist and project manager within performance and visual arts. I have designed and created props, puppets, exhibition pieces, painted sets and murals; often working in pressured environments and in unusual situations. I have worked within teams on international ceremonies, festivals as well as individual commissions and teaching workshops with varied groups. My work has been exhibited and performed in UK, Cyprus and Catalonia.

A hi-res version of my portfolio is available on request.
