About Me

After completing an Art Foundation year at Central Saint Martins I found my place at Wimbledon College of Art in Technical Arts and Special Effects. From Graduation I went on to build puppets for Blind Summit along side small window display commissions and private puppet commissions.

In the years that followed I have create pieces for numerous theatres including Holland Park Opera and The RSC.  2010 saw the beginning of exciting collaborations with Louis Vuitton under Chameleon Visual Display. The pieces, Made solely from real Louis Vuitton products have exhibited in London, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Shanghai and Milan.

In 2013 I was invited to design another menagerie, but this time for the iconic store John Lewis’s Christmas windows and the medium – household goods, everything from cutlery to coffee machines, armchairs to vacuum cleaners.

2014 saw the start of new collaborations with Smythson of Bond Street and across the pond with photographer Lacey and film maker Christopher Webb for Christian Dior and Vogue.
