Summary

A skilled scenic artist and art department member with six years of experience across TV, film, theatre, and music video productions as a scenic painter, props maker, and member of art department. I am eager to bring my craftsmanship, adaptability, and technical expertise to the Walt Disney Theatre team. The opportunity to contribute to the immersive storytelling and world-class entertainment that Disney is known for is very exciting.

My background in scenic art and prop-making is rooted in my studies at Rose Bruford College, where I trained in scenic painting, prop construction, and set design. Since then, I have worked on high-profile productions with Warner Brothers, Apple TV, and Marcus Hall Props, gaining hands-on experience.
