I have been working in theatre lighting for 10 years now. Most recently designing ‘Exactly Like you’ at the Vaults in London, I enjoy finding small shows with big hearts to be a part of. I am extremely passionate about all corners of the industry having worked in places from the fringe to the Coliseum, but my favourite type of show to work on has always been children’s theatre.

I have had the great fortune to work with Tutti Frutti on several shows, ‘WiLd!’, ‘The Snow Child’ and ‘The Princess and The Pea’. Each one is magical and captivating in its own unique way and I am looking forward to being a part of another one.
