Art Director, Production Designer and Photographer from Birmingham, UK.
After graduating from Manchester University with a degree in Classical Studies, I found an entry level position at Pebble Mill Studios in Birmingham. Working up from Runner to 3rd Assistant Director on the daytime drama, Doctors, I would help different departments in my prep time. This led to an opportunity on the following series to become an Assistant/Standby Art Director. After that, I worked in most areas of Art and Props on various shows.
During COVID, I was made a BBC Staff Supervising Art Director which came to an end with the cancellation of Doctors in 2024, leading me back into the Freelance world.
I have 24 years experience working in the Art Department and Props Department in the television and film industry. Working in various roles and on different shows for companies including BBC Studios, Baby Cow Productions, Tiger Aspect, The Lighthouse, ITV as well as independents.
Although I am predominantly an Art Director, I am able to cover a number of roles within the art department from managing a team of people to building sets, painting and dressing them to creating graphics using Adobe products and most things in between.
As a photographer, I have shot a number of different events, including weddings, corporate events, model/actor headshots and the like.
