Roos Academy of Performing Arts, Cinderella 2024
Prop Maker
To create this prop I worked closely alongside the choreographer to create a whimsical?, yet practical pumpkin/carriage. It was important, as this was a children's show, that it was not too heavy and was manageable for young kids to work with it on stage. I kept the base to a simple layered card board and used foam and fabric for the finishing design work.

Working as part of a large group of makers, turning Harrods into a gingerbread extravaganza. I was given the task of piping the icing external gingerbread flowers. As well as working in the workshop I also worked on-site for the setup.
Client Shed Renovation
Nerf Den
I was ask to turn a family's cluttered and cobwebbed garden shed into a Nerf Gun den for their son. They were keen for a lot of fun storage for his ammo and Nerf Guns, as well as a place for him and his friends to hang out. I utilised the materials already available from the shelving as well as sourcing other items to build all the new interiors.
Persian Scimitar project
This piece developed from a 1st year props project. I began with researching into the traditional shapes and designs of Persian swords of the 18th century. The hilt and handle were modelled in mixed media (wood, plasticine, beads) from which was made a silicone mold. The final piece was cast in resin. The blade was ground from a piece of sheet metal and polished.
Personal project | 3D printed head of 'Eson the Searcher'
From The Marvel Comics 'The Eternals'
Illustrator | Jack Kirby
I created this project as a way to expand my digital skills and learn about 3d printing. I use early Jack Kirby comics as my inspirations, then worked my way from paper maquettes up to Fusion 360. I used Ultimaker Cura to slice the files then printed on an FDM printer, small pieces that slotted together to create the helmet.
Scythe
'Everybody' Performed by the RWCMD Richard Burton Company 2023
Director | Phillip Breen
Designer | Oscar Morris
I was given the opportunity to produce the prop scythe used by "death" in The Richard Burton Company's production of Everybody. The prop was based on a traditional, wooden handled scythe with a curved blade. It was important to consider the correct proportions as the actor playing "death" was over 6ft tall and the blade needed to arch above his head.Working on the scythe involved foam carving, jesmonite and paint finishes.
