CV & Portfolio :
I am an experienced art department junior, currently available for work from 2024.
My interest in the Art Department stems from a love of visual storytelling and spatial design, which I developed throughout my degree in Architectural History.
Now looking to further my draughting skills, as well as my hands on experience, where I hope my period knowledge, research skills and problem solving might come in to use.
My credits include Batgirl (Warner Brothers), The Son (SeeSaw Films), and The Responder (BBC1/Dancing Ledge).
I have worked in London, Liverpool and Glasgow, and am happy to relocate as necessary.
