From the Sketch Book, to the Screen...
Fashion photography, immersive theatre, music videos, opera, stage musicals, festivals, documentaries and independent film. With every project I am a part of, it is my passion to successfully achieve goals through innovative ideas, especially in the face of budget limitations.
Alchemy is something I take very seriously, and I prioritise recycling materials used within every set I create. I aim to limit waste where ever possible, ensuring set pieces and materials go on to be used in more film or stage production. I hardly ever visit the tip, and if I do, its usually to pick something up!
Natural
​
I'm skilled in model making, poly carving, sculpture, and casting, enabling me to make bespoke scenery and props to specifications, or design them from scratch.
​
Dirty
​
​I provide a wealth of scenic painting techniques including spraying,
stencilling, faux effects, texture, and ageing. I am able to interpret designs and work well under pressure to meet a deadline.
