About me

Having worked in a number of roles in Arts and Music Events production, then spending 4 years in Education of Art and Photography I have honed my digital design skills and combined these with my painting and collage background to create narrative pieces of Art for both commercial and personal projects. I am looking to now work with Artists, Musicians, Events companies, Creatives and Brands (no matter how how big or small) to help create visually exciting material that promotes ideas effectively.

Specialising in Installation, Film and Performance Art I honed skills in film editing, set building and design. My core focus was based around human behaviours and sociological factors that reduce us to our worst selves; exploring themes of Animalism, Pack-mentality & Screen based early years learning issues.
