Happiest when covered in paint. I work in the full range of scenic art, from handwritten signs and traditional portraiture, to full blown faux effects and working in large messy scenic teams. I've also worked with prop making, which is equally satisfying to scupt and make all mannor of 3D items big and small!

When I graduated Guildhall School of Music & Drama, I tumbled out with a student portfolio and a few freelance jobs tucked under my wings and jumped headfirst in the world of painters and makers – I haven’t dare to come up for air since! I gained work experience at the Royal Opera House and the National Theatre, where I was lucky enough to get asked back as a fledgling, which proved to be the spring board for me. I am currently the inhouse scenic artist and prop maker at Boo Productions working on immersive events whilst darting off to explore other exciting freelance gigs on the side, including Regents Park Open Air Theatre and Hampstead Theatre to name a few.

I attended the Joby Carter sign writer course where I learnt the traditional skill of signwriting - which is my current obsession as I endevour to master it!
