About Me

Who am I?

How did I come to work in film and TV?

What experience do I have?

And how did I come to create this course?

Pre-Film and TV

I initially studied mechanical engineering and industrial design.

 

Shortly after graduating, I unexpectedly got a job as an Extra (SA) on a BBC documentary about the Tudors.

​

Before that, I hadn’t had anything to do with the industry whatsoever.

 

I really enjoyed the experience, and it made me realise that I would like to work in the film and TV industry in some capacity.

 

However, I knew absolutely nothing about the film and TV industry.

 

As you can imagine, it's not the sort of thing they teach you when studying mechanical engineering.

 

As a result, I was effectively starting from ground-zero.

Entering the Industry

In the following years, I continued to work as an Extra.

 

I also did a lot of research about the industry, watched what happened when I was on set, asked lots of questions, completed several courses, and spoke to as many people as I could.

​

There were many moments of confusion, frustration and self-doubt – as you might be experiencing now.

 

It often felt like trying to build a complex LEGO model without any instructions. (Sometimes I felt like I didn’t even know what the model was supposed to look like.)

 

But it was also exciting to be discovering an industry as interesting, challenging, and varied as this one.

 

Looking back, I refer to those years as my quarter-life crisis – an experience that I know a lot of people go through.

 

Ultimately, I realised I would like to design and create props and sets.

 

One thing led to another, and I ended up doing just that.

Recent Work

Now I work predominantly in Props and Set Decoration. I have also worked in the Art Department on some lower-budget productions.

 

To date, I’ve worked on productions such as:

  • Bridgerton

  • The Winter King

  • The Gallows Pole

  • The Power

  • The Souvenir Pt. 2

  • Fast and Furious 9

 

I've also worked on several others that have yet to air.

 

Having found my feet in recent years, I decided to create this course to help others do the same.
