Joiner · Set designer · Decorator · Cabinetmaker

Building and imagining,
from homes to stage sets.

I love making things that are both beautiful and useful. I work on site and in the workshop, from fine cabinetmaking to cultural sets and timber framing to event scenography.

My background brings together the technical know-how of woodwork and the creativity of alternative scenes. On site or in the workshop, I’ve been lucky enough to work in teams of every size, sometimes with responsibility for planning and managing the crew.

Scenography / Sets

Bringing the imaginary to life & dressing the space

Work made for the stage and for dressing venues: arches, totems, modules, mapping supports, from arranging stage elements to full-scale scenography.

  • Large stage sets
  • On-site build & strike
  • Artistic exploration
  • Technical & artistic coordination
  • Set pieces & staging
  • Drapes, textures & light

Want to build and create together?

Let’s create and build together.

I’m looking to join a team or a project that speaks to me, so I can keep learning and growing: timber construction, sustainable housing, ambitious artistic and technical work. Open to relocating, including abroad. Company, workshop, theatre company, collective or private client: let’s talk.
