Mulit-disciplinary Designer
I am a multidisciplinary designer that specialises in Theatre & Exhibition design. My works are a mixture of self-directed projects and live projects that explore the idea of utilising space and figures to communicate a compelling narrative. Everything that I do is to explore the opportunities a strong relationship between space and figures can have in storytelling as I believe it can provide a powerful experience for the audience. My time in university allows me to delve into this practice and develop myself into a mature and confident designer.
