Hello!
I'm a London-based hair, wigs, make-up and prosthetics artist and designer with over 13 years experience working across film, theatre, commercial, fashion, opera, and live performance (Winner of The Film Olympiad Award for Best Hair & Make-up Design 2024, and The British Short Film Award for Best Hair & Make-up Design 2023) — available to work internationally.
Alongside professional production work, I maintain an interdisciplinary art and curatorial practice exploring embodiment and transformation through material-led processes including prosthetics, wigs, hair, sculpture, and moving image. I also work in educational contexts as a visiting artist, crit leader and facillitator, bringing collaborative and care-led approaches to character design, material practice, and creative facilitation.
