I am a scenographer and production designer. I trained at Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design.

I create work for live performance. I am interested in making work that is political, devised, experimental and innovative; with a particular aim to be as waste-free as possible. I like working in close collaboration across the creative team to interrogate how design can be embedded in the dramaturgy of a performance.
