Experience
I have been working on theatre sets for the last 5 years, specialising in the last 2 years mainly in carpentry.
​
During this time I have worked both as a Construction Technician in a supporting role, and for last year I have worked in a Lead Role overseeing the complete construction process from design, construction, set get ins and get outs, alongside set repairs during the shows.
