Creative Director
I am a director, creative leader, and experience designer working across theatre, immersive experiences, video games, and creative technologies. Since 2014, I have created work that combines bold visual storytelling with emotionally truthful performance, exploring the space where the naturalistic and the extraordinary meet.
My practice is rooted in the power of physical imagery, movement, and ensemble collaboration. Whether working with classic texts, new writing, musicals, large-scale immersive productions, or motion capture performance, I am drawn to stories that place human connection at their centre. My work often balances theatrical spectacle with emotional intimacy, creating worlds that feel both larger than life and deeply personal.
I am currently Creative Associate at The Lost Estate, one of the UK's leading immersive theatre companies, where I help develop and maintain award-winning productions that transport audiences into meticulously crafted historical worlds. My work spans creative development, direction, performer training, quality control, and the design of immersive audience experiences that seamlessly blend theatre, music, hospitality, and storytelling.
Alongside my work with The Lost Estate, I am a Theatre Practitioner for Frantic Assembly and a Creative Associate of the National Youth Theatre. I have directed and developed work across theatre, television, video games, and live experiences, with a particular interest in physical performance, immersive storytelling, and emerging technologies. I am currently expanding my practice into performance direction for motion capture and interactive media, exploring new ways of creating compelling character-driven experiences for contemporary audiences.
At the heart of my work is a belief that great storytelling is collaborative. I am passionate about creating rehearsal rooms that are ambitious, playful, and rigorous, where artists can take risks and audiences can experience stories that resonate long after the performance has ended.
