About

 

From scenic art to character design, my work as a concept artist, sculptor, illustrator, fabricator, set painter and performer in the entertainment industry has led  me to develop a broad catalogue of artistic skills and a keen eye for design. I  have worked in film and tv, the music industry, live events and theatre & circus.

 

Whilst I specialise in the design, creation and performance of Puppet character and creature suits. I can turn my hand to most artistic challenges. I have helped develop and innovate exciting projects over the years In regards to suit design and making. As a performer, I bring extensive first hand performance experience to the table, helping make puppet suits that are comfortable and practically workable, therefore allowing the performer to utilise as much dynamic range of physical expression as possible whilst conserving energy. 

 

My strong  sense of design and confidence, combined with my experience as a team leader and creative director enable me to manage a team of people efficiently and fairly whilst paying attention to and drawing out the natural abilities of each member of the team; Coordinating time and energy to maximum effectiveness  to achieve a high standard of finish. 

 

I have worked with Clients such as Iron Maiden, Sky TV/King Bert, Games Workshop/Warhammer 40K and Cadbury’s.
