Professional Experience 










































































I am a theatre designer working across costume and set, with a practice grounded in research, material experimentation, and speculative design. My work interrogates systems of identity, power, and embodiment, positioning performance design as an active and critical component of theatrical meaning-making. Alongside my design practice, I have extensive experience in hospitality, customer-facing roles, and collaborative environments, developing strong communication, organisational, and leadership skills.
