Crew Listing


Description

I am a UK-based Prop Maker and Scenic Painter with experience across film, theatre, live events and immersive environments. I specialise in translating design concepts into high-quality physical builds, working confidently from initial brief through to installation and final dressing.

My skillset spans polycarving, scenic painting, mould making and casting, 3D printing (FDM & resin), model making and prop finishing, with a strong focus on realism and detail. I have worked on large-scale builds for live performances and themed environments, as well as film productions where I have taken on responsibilities including prop sourcing, fabrication, standby props and armoury support.

I am experienced in leading small teams, managing workflows, and working to tight deadlines while maintaining high production standards. Comfortable both in the workshop and on site, I have experience with installs, working at height, and collaborating closely with art departments, production designers and other creatives.

Alongside technical ability, I bring a problem-solving mindset, adaptability and a strong work ethic developed through previous experience in high-pressure environments. I take pride in delivering creative, practical and visually impactful results on every project.
