About

After discovering a passion for technical theatre while completing a degree in film and television, I am taking my first steps into the world of professional theatrical lighting. I have extensive experience working in proscenium arch spaces but have also worked in black box studios and other, less traditional performance spaces. A knowledge of and fascination with the storytelling process fostered through studying literature, plays, film and television inform my view of lighting as an essential element of theatrical expression.
