THEATRE DESIGNER, MAKER & ARTIST
ABOUT ME.
I'm a theatre designer, maker and artist based in the North West, UK. I Specialise in designing and making sets, costumes, puppets and props for a variety of productions as well as scale model making and creating indoor and outdoor installations.
I'm an advocate for creating accessible and engaging theatre for people of all ages, identities and backgrounds. I believe in the power of using the arts to influence positive social change, and love the process of collaborating with other creatives to make meaningful and innovative work.
My design process is heavily influenced by research and conversations, and I always aim to create a magical experience that transports an audience out of everyday life while igniting and expanding their imaginations.
When I'm not working as a freelancer I like to paint and illustrate.
