Production Design

Education and exhibitions.

I have led workshops in Theatre Design at the Crucible Theatre and for Sheffield Galleries Youth Forum, with the later resulting in the installation of a ‘diary room’ in the Graves Art Gallery. Further to this I was commissioned to develop two ideas from the youth forum into an interactive set of terraced houses and an 'Agony Aunt Column'. I designed the SMUGGLERS AT WHITBY ABBEY installation at Clifton Park Museum, Rotherham and ran scenic art workshops to create the piece.

I have a background of experience that allows me to have a practical, as well as a creative approach to design. I left the University of Durham in 1997 with a Master of Engineering degree. I worked for two years for Montgomery Watson Limited as a design engineer in wastewater treatment before completing a Postgraduate Certificate of Education at Loughborough University. As a secondary school teacher I have taught Design and Technology and Art. 

In the year 2005-2006 I attended the Motley Theatre Design Course run by Alison Chitty OBE, Ashley Martin-Davis and Anthony Lamble.
