About me
After having a passion for all things creative, I've followed my dream into the world of prop making. I'm interested in moulding, sculpting, fibreglassing and painting, all skills that have been further honed through courses via Pinewood Studios and City Lit. Since making the leap I have been working in both the theatre and film industry as well as working on large scale art installations. I'm motivated by the creating process and seeing the end result, particularly enjoying working closely with the art team to realise their vision.
