Summary

I am a skilled, enthusiastic and adaptable worker. I can work independently and confidently with a large variety of tools and workshop equipment. I am competent running teams of people and I have a keen eye for detail and design and have undergone Interior Design training and a Textile Design Diploma. I am experienced in seeing sets through from start to finish including buying, fabricating, dressing, co-ordination and wrapping.
