I have experience in creative practices including set and costume design, scenic art, modelmaking, and illustration, as well as broader events design and coordination/supervision. I constantly aim to incorporate such practices, or aspects of each, into my working life where possible. I am also very interested in exploring Stage Management and other behind the scenes positions, as well as construction-based roles that allow me to be hands-on and help build my skillset as a craftsperson. Additionally, I enjoy organisational and coordination roles within a creative setting. I am a graduate of MA Historical Costume and BA Performance Design and Film Costume, both at Arts University Bournemouth. I have a keen interest in history, especially ancient and medieval history, which I like to bring into my work. I annually attend and have volunteered at the Chalke Valley History Festival. I also frequently attend West End and touring shows, particularly enjoying musical and comedy genres. In my spare time I like to draw and paint, regularly doing watercolour or acrylic commissions on animals or people, and I volunteer with local groups or devise my own projects that allow me to do modelmaking and scenic art.
