Biography

With over 40 years of experience in the film industry I have learned what it takes to create realistic & stylistic sets for both movies & high quality television series. With a great understanding of construction methods & timescales, budgeting & putting together the best team possible plus a wealth of experience working in foreign locations & getting the most out of local crews.

From the Judges, on DUCHESS (2024)

From the Judges, on DUCHESS

It played to the panel as a fun, stylish ride: a slick action thriller with an ensemble of colourful characters and plenty of attitude. High production values carry through every creative department, and the crafted, polished look of the world sits alongside cinematography of real assurance. The lead performance drew warm praise too.
