ABOUT ME
I am a freelance theatrical designer with credits spanning set, costume & puppetry design. With a stylized approach to design and an emphasis on visual storytelling.
Focused on the amalgamation of art and function, my work explores the shapes and patterns of day-to-day life to exhibit a surreal sense of reality.
​
​
I have a BA in Design for Performance from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and received the Paul Kimpton Prize for Innovation in 2022.​ Additionally, have produced a research project dissertation on ‘The Influence of Art on Opera Design’ with a study into the relationship between the expressionist art movement and expressionist opera.
