Profile

9 years designing what audiences see at scale — conference and festival content, interactive installations, brand systems and digital platforms. Trained as a civil engineer, which is why the work is built as systems that survive a programme changing overnight rather than as files that have to be remade.

Equally at home directing the concept and operating the cue on show day. Has trained media teams and written department curriculum since 2017.
