About
me
​
I am currently studying Theatre Design at Nottingham Trent University.Art really excites me, I love watching live shows and seeing art in action.For me, the excitement of the theatre starts when walking into the venue and seeing the set. I love the power it has to create an otherworldly location. I am interested in starting a career in community Arts, Theatre and Events design.
