I studied Performance Design and Management at Manchester University, graduating with a first class honours in 2009 specialising in set and costume design.

Since 2006 I have been working professionally in design assistant,  propmaker, co-design and designer roles. in 2009 my first full professional design for Macbeth by Feelgood Theatre Productions was nominated for a Manchester Theatre award. As an outdoor, promendade production it peaked my interest in design for non-conventional spaces.

I am a flexible and responsive designer- I have worked in most mediums and contexts from traditional rep theatre, to outdoor charicature and black-box new writing. I embrace the challenges presented with new styles and methods and love learning from working with new orginisations.
