Stage and Screen - Art, Props and Design

I have been very lucky over the last few years to work on some great projects for film and theatre. I have worked in a range of roles, from art assistant, through to prop maker and designer, and have had the chance to constantly develop new skills.

A bit of an artistic Swiss army knife, I enjoy working in many different mediums, and have experience in design and illustration, set dressing, costumes and textiles, prop-making, puppet making, bookbinding and craft in experimental materials.

Please enjoy a peak at some selected works below.
