My name's Steve, soon-to-be 30 years young. Worked for years in public service industries and have come to the end of my tether, the peak of my patience and the edge of my sanity with the direction my life is heading in... yes, it all screams mid-life crisis to me too! I started my creative project, the Cotton Castle about 2 years ago, as an artistic hobby and to keep my sanity intact! I've so far produced an adult colouring book and launched it on Kickstarter, planning and producing more books in the series as you read this drivel. Also worked on a few freelance projects for company logos, flyers and business cards. Hopefully, you like what you see! I'm looking for commission work and new projects to take on, so get in touch and let's get creative! Help me turn creativity into my career!

Education

BA (hons) Acting, 1st class honoursUniversity of Central Lancashire, Preston
- Preston, United Kingdom
Studied Acting at UCLan. Learned loads about acting and honed my skills and performance techniques to achieve Frist Class Honours. Unfortunately didn't have a clue how to make it as a working actor/creative, or the stresses and strains this can put on everyday life. Now well-seasoned to the ways of the working world and wiser through my past mistakes, I'm ready to start looking for roles and auditions again. Bring it on!

Jane Horrocks Award for Outstanding ActorUCLAN
I was very grateful to receive this award as well as graduating with First Class Honours. Though it means very little in the grand scheme of things, it's become a great reminder of my creative growth and achievement at university. Thankyou UCLan!
