About Me.

I am a graduate of Design for Theatre and Live Performance at Nottingham Trent University, graduating with First Class Honours in July 2024. While my degree gave me a strong foundation in creative design, I have developed a particular interest in studio-based production, photography, and visual storytelling.

 

I have enjoyed working with a variety of theatre, performance and film companies and enjoy exploring new avenues of installation, events and photography. I have been fortunate to be able to work with Stigma films and the director Phil Dunster, as an Art Department Assistant for the short film, Idiomatic, where I was able to find a new found interest in the production style of the film industry.

 

Throughout  my degree, I have continued to enjoy watching live performances and I have been able to gain a new perspective for the methods and work that goes into these productions. My passion for live events and storytelling has developed from this understanding, and these experiences have inspired my focus on production and studio photography, which is the area I am eager to explore professionally.
