I am a performance designer and theatre collaborator. I trained at the Royal Drawing School and at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, graduating in 2020.
I create performance spaces across theatre, dance, opera, live art, installation, and anything in between. I am interested in highly collaborative, inventive and challenging work, pushing at the boundaries of what design and visual dramaturgy can achieve in live contact with an audience.
Devised and movement based work forms a great part of my performance background, and I am eager to pursue collaborations with choreographers and experimenting directors.
