My starting point as a designer is to think of the set through the eye of the camera, I like to create many layers, depth and texture within each shot. I design to the close-up, the 2 shot, the POV and of course the wide shot - all must be interesting, dynamic and suitable for the feel of the programme I am working on.

I see design as a creative collaboration working closely with the Director and Producers to discover exactly what is required - the ideas settle and form in my head until a design comes to light. I then make a model, draw or paint a visual image to present to the team. Working with Cameras, Lighting and Sound I create something that works well for everyone. I have many years experience of making sets happen within budget and timescales.
