I am a creative freelancer, specialising in designing and managing events.
For the 2025 British Film Institute (BFI) Festival, I worked as both a Site Manager for DDA Global Live and the Sound and Lighting Technician for Huge Star Productions.
As a site manager this involved:
● Managing the talent through the red carpet to the required locations
● Ensuring all details on the carpet were as per the plans and the clients requests
● Lining up the barriers for the press and public
● Ensuring the carpet and talent areas were set correctly to a high standard
● Liaising with the venue
● Reading and understanding ground plans, CAD drawings and documentation.
For my role as the Sound and Lighting technician for Huge Star Productions:
● Setting up all the panel lights for the photographers along the carpets and photo walls.
● Setting up the sound equipment and cabling on the carpet and talent areas.
● Operating and monitoring the sound during the red carpet and talent areas.
● Setting up the sound, DJ set, uplighters and photo wall lighting for the opening gala of the BFI Festival.
I recently designed a ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ themed party, for this I had a £200 budget and a brief of an elegant 3 course meal for 12 guests and a NYE photo wall area. I started by creating a moodboard presentation with various design routes, and then I created a spreadsheet with everything I would source for this event and the prices. Once agreed, I ordered and curated all the elements, and made faux flower arrangements to be placed around the room and on the table. I set up the event and managed it during, to ensure it went smoothly.
I have 7 years experience in professional West-End and touring theatre, as a technician which has given me skills:
● Communication
● Budgeting and documentation
● Technical knowledge of what is needed to put on a large scale event and theatre productions.
● Get-ins and get-outs
● Sourcing props, equipment, and scenery.
● Setting up technical equipment for lighting and sound
● Time management
● Scenic painting and dressing
● Extensive experience touring into UK and international venues
● Working under pressure and with various departments and roles.
I have a 1st Class Honours degree in Theatre Design and from this I am able to:
● Take a concept, through the design, visuals, and reality stage.
● Auto-CAD
● Photoshop
● Work to a budget
● Communicate with vendors, departments and clients
