my work


BOLD
I don't shy away from big gesture - be that colour, intensity, angle... If the production needs to say something, the lighting will very much be a part of that.
Socially engaged
The theatre I choose to make is important and forward facing. The environment is my primary focus, as well as the multitude of other social issues facing our society today.
dynamic
I believe every performance work deserves a lighting journey that helps it breathe toward an audience.
