About

Queen Elizabeth I's Secret Agents - Title Credits.png

Pre-Film and TV

I initially studied mechanical engineering degree and industrial design.
 

Shortly after graduating, I unexpectedly found a job as a Supporting Artist 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 would imagine, this is not the sort of thing they teach you about in a mechanical engineering degree.

 

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

Entering the Industry

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

 

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.​

 

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.​
