I am a female working-class lighting designer originally from Hull, with bases in Hull, London and the Midlands. Some recent design credits include '(you are witnessing) My Villain Era' with Dark Horse, 'My Brothers a Genius' with Theatre Centre and Sheffield Theatres, and 'A Glimmer Daze Gambit' with Revel Puck Circus.

Some upcoming design credits include 'Crime and Punishment' with Northern Broadsides, 'Sprites' with ARCADE, and 'Owl and Pussycat' with Derby Theatre. 

​

I am currently working on my DYCP which I received earlier this year in Access within Lighting Design and Installations. I am working on my BSL Level 1 as part of this currently, hopefully moving on to Level 2 afterwards.

​

I am also the co-founder of theatre company Puddle of Fools, with actor and devisor Hannah Harquart. We are currently developing our production of new play 'How to commit a mattress heist', written by myself.

​

In 2025 I became a recipient of bursary for The Optimists Producing Course, led by China Plate. Previously I have been a recipient of the MGC Futures Bursary 2023.​

​

I studied a degree in BA Theatre and Performance Technology, in which I gained a first class honours, specialising in Lighting Design. ​

During my time studying, I was chosen as one of five participants to partake in the SLX Lighting Programme, as well as a member in The Godber Theatre Foundation.

​

Prior to attending LIPA I completed an 18 month apprenticeship at Bridlington Spa which gave me a range of experience working in a professional venue and programming and operating on shows of varying scales from studio shows to conference set ups to large scale musicals.  

​

Alongside lighting design, I have credits working as a theatre technician at the London Palladium, with Revel Pucks Circus, Walk The Plank, M&S Bank Arena Liverpool, and more.

 

The most important element of designing a show to me is the collaboration with the creative team. I am passionate about work which connects to an audience and lighting is a huge part of that: it can set the mood, change the feel,  tell a story and affect the atmosphere. I love to include practical elements within my designs which I find helps to immerse the audience even more.

​

Alongside my lighting design work, I also work as a writer and producer. More information can be found about this on the 'Other Creative Work' page.

 

I am always seeking new opportunities to get involved in, as a lighting designer, assistant, or associate.
