Since a young age the act of storytelling has always fascinated me and has constantly inspired me in my work. Films, theatre shows and art in general have been key to my understanding of the world through the way they creatively and visually tell story’s. Ultimately the visual arts and performance is a platform to learn, whether that be something historical, cultural or even something about ourselves. We all see the world differently and as a designer I like to explore this through the way in which audiences react and interact with performances.

Additionally, I have always been interested in how the ‘world’ of a film or performance is created, both in the design and making process. To be able to walk into a space and be completely transferred into another world is something that is truly mesmerising to me. Because of this I enjoy and specialise in designing for set, costume and props, but have many skills that would help to realising a full production including model making, technical drawing, set construction and scenic painting.
