I completed my BA honours in Theatre Design at Wimbledon School Of Art and went on to complete the postgraduate Motley Theatre Design course at the Almeida Theatre.
After completing my studies I worked on music videos and commercials as an art director for a number of years before moving into set decoration.
I have been set decorating for over for over twenty-five years which has taken me all around the world.
This website shows of some of my projects that I am most proud to have been a part of and shows the diversity of my work.
