Assistance Experience
Linbury Prize Recipient 2025
Newly graduated from RWCMD, I am a set and costume designer based in South Wales and London. I have designed six shows in total, a range of plays, drama and opera. I have acted as an assistant for two student productions and am about to become an associate to Anna Fleischle during the RSC production of The Cherry Orchard (July ‘26).
At The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, I developed a passion for theatre design as I translated my fine art training into a storytelling format. I am personally interested in avant garde styles and how shapes and textures can be utilised in a space.
As an assistant, I offer a new perspective and a variety of skills. Outside of my theatre training, my creative practice covers a range of disciplines such as sculpture, hot metal casting, mould making, ceramics, curation, fine art performance, metal work, garment construction, film making, art department assisting and set dressing (for film), van driving and an interest in traditional craft.
