About me:
Over the last few years I have been very lucky to work on a wide range of exciting projects as a Graphic Designer, Assistant Art Director, Draughtsman and Art Director.
My passion for film and television started in 2001 when Lord of the Rings was released - I remember watching the 'extras' on the DVD and was fascinated by how it was all created. Not knowing where to start with getting into the industry, I began my journey studying 'Interior Architecture' at Nottingham Trent University - This gave me a good grounding in model making and technical drawing.
I then discovered that there was a specific 'Design for Film and TV' course at Nottingham Trent and changed course after the first year - the best decision I ever made.
I am calm, creative and thoughtful. I thrive in a busy atmosphere and love a challenge. I particularly enjoy the construction side of the Art Department and
thoroughly enjoy the process of designing a prop or set, following it through to construction and then seeing the finished thing.
