As well as designing and making, I am a performer and have worked in television, London's West End, regional theatre and have toured nationally and internationally.  I love many forms of art and have always been torn between performing and making, so why not do both? I have long standing connections with Ripley Theatre and composer Zara Nunn; providing puppets, design and performing for both. For the last five years I have been designer for 'Christmas for Kids' and have created scenery and props for their beautiful multi-sensory Christmas shows for Children's hospices and SEN schools. I live in Bedfordshire with my wife and daughter.
