+ I am a freelance lighting designer, technician, and systems specialist with a focus on touring productions and live
+ performance. Since 2018, I have worked freelance, initially alongside a career in IT and software engineering and
+ full time since 2022, bringing together technical precision, creative design, and a strong respect for the craft and
+ crew.
+
+
+
+ I have designed lighting for touring shows that require both creative adaptability and practical problem solving on
+ the road. As a house and systems technician in a variety of venues, I regularly support international acts and
+ crews, adapting to varied
+ setups and workflows. My theatre and festival touring experience has also strengthened my ability to communicate
+ clearly with local teams and deliver consistent, high quality results in dynamic environments.
+
+
+
+ A perfectionist by nature, I value preparation, attention to detail, and reliability while staying flexible and
+ collaborative to meet the demands of live production. My background in IT and network management supports
+ increasingly complex lighting and control systems, ensuring stable and efficient operation across all types of
+ venues.

+ I am a freelance stage lighting technician, lighting designer, and lighting systems technician with a passion for the
+ intersection of technical precision and creative expression. My journey in lighting began in primary school, driven by
+ a fascination with how light shapes space and mood. Since 2018, I’ve been freelancing alongside a career in software
+ engineering and IT, transitioning to full-time freelance work in 2022.
+
+
+
+ As a self-proclaimed perfectionist, I’ve learned to harness this trait to my advantage—valuing preparation over
+ improvisation and precision over guesswork. My attention to detail ensures that every cue, fixture, and system
+ performs exactly as intended. I bring professionalism, technical expertise, and a deep commitment to elevating every
+ production I work on, blending methodical planning with a love for creative problem-solving.
