Specialism
Lighting Design

About

Specialising primarily on Lighting Design, AV Design & Lighting Programming. Gaining experience in lighting across varying scales of productions, both at LAMDA and elsewhere, of lighting all routes of practices from the technical to creative, and the crucial bridge between the two. Something I am keen at is utilising technology and software learning in an era of exciting advancing technology in visualisation alongside traditional methods of lighting. 

I am particularly interested in working closely with directors and all the creatives that make up a production team, from a position of creating one cohesive output, that works together with a single purpose and synchronicity in all mediums. Something that makes really engaging modern theatre.
