I am a performance designer and theatre maker from South London, I trained in theatre and performance design at Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, graduating in 2023 with a first class BA (Hons).
I was a 2023 recipient of The Linbury Prize and my work was exhibited at The National Theatre.
I am particularly drawn to avant-garde and contemporary performance practices, embracing the philosophy that my work exists at its core to entertain. My design process thrives on playful collaboration and multidisciplinary experimentation. I aspire to work across various fields, including dance, opera, and diverse forms of theatre.
