My Story

In A
Nutshell.

There’s only one type of aesthetic that matters- the one that tells your story.
Profile

I am a Artistic Producer ( Scenic & Creative Productions ) with over 10 years of experience building story - led environments across festivals, film, commercials, music videos, theatre, live events, art - led exhibitions and brand productions - working both in front and behind the camera, on set, stage, and on site.With a Fine Art & Applied Design degree and formal scenic training at DAP Studios, I bring conceptual depth and craft precision to every project, alongside the production structure needed to actually deliver it - from first concept through final finish.

My practice is built around creative vision, physical craft, and production management - creating environments that feel entirely inhabited - whether the camera is rolling, the curtain is rising, or a brand is making it's first impression. I work across set decoration, art direction, scenic productions - moving between set, screen, stage, music, fashion and live cultural events with the same rigour and the same eye. Each medium sharpens the work differently, and everything feeds everything else. From first concept through to final finish, I bring both the creative vision and the production structure ensuring each project feels considered, coherent and fully evocative.

I’ve always found that when you bring the right people together, everything works better. Over time I’ve built a network that feels more like an extended creative family than a list of contacts. I work with people I trust, people who are fantastic at what they do and good to be around. That energy carries through the entire process, and it's a big part of why I feel proud of everything I put my name to.

Working across the UK and Europe and collaborating with counterparts in the USA has broadened my perspective considerably - adapting to different production cultures and scales while maintaining a consistent standard of detail and finish. I work collaboratively, I communicate clearly, and I care about the craft at every level. I believe in leaning into life, embracing every experience and doing what makes you feel alive.

Alongside creative teams, I run a workflow across budgeting, sourcing and team management, enabling clarity and efficiency at every stage of any project. This structure allows me to focus on what matters most: building thoughtful, character-led environments that feel authentic, considered and unmistakably real on stage, set or a screen. I offer services that create a collective and rewarding working experience, where action matters as much as imagination for all collaborators involved.

WHY WORK WITH ME

I combine artistic expertise, sensory awareness and deep facilitation experience to deliver creative experiences that leave a lasting impact. Whether it’s a large-scale collaboration, or a moodboard and narrative concept, every project is bespoke, thoughtfully created and infused with energy, insight and connection.
