About me
An ambitious, personable and highly creative individual with a natural aptitude for coordination. My interests compliment my professional endeavours in film making, event services and media communications. I enjoy developing my skills in a hands on manner and thrive on the opportunity to show ability. I recognise that communication and common sense are essential in a fast paced environment. Likewise a calm nature and sense of humour are of equal value at times.

  • M&S AUTUMN/WINTER LOOKBOOK
    M&S AUTUMN/WINTER LOOKBOOKInvited on a two day shoot with M&S for their Christmas Homes and Interiors Lookbook 2014. Whilst onset I provided assistance to the Interior Stylist & Senior Press Officer - which included organising and coordinating products & props, categorising props into themes, ensuring the transition from each set ran smoothly and communicating with the set designer, photographer, site manager and crew.
  • M&S PRESS EVENT
    M&S PRESS EVENTWhilst on site at the Marks and Spencer Christmas Press Event 2014, I helped set up various homeware scenes to showcase their winter products. The role involved both creative and physical assistance throughout the build. I gained experience in working on a large scale towards a deadline and in a busy environment, whilst simultaneously ensuring attention to detail. Each scenario had a different theme which improved my ability to work against a client set brief.
  • The Gentleman Thief
    The Gentleman ThiefThis was a valuable experience giving me the opportunity to work on a large scale set build from construction to filming. Working under the Production Designer I was part of a team of scenic artists that transformed an empty stage into a 1960's jewellery boutique. The outcome was tremendous and my prop making/sourcing, scenic painting, carpentry and construction skills were improved. Whilst on set for the shoot I assisted the Standby Art Director and Stunt Coordination team with set dressing and effects.
