I design spaces and visual narratives for performance, specialising in set and costume design. I thrive in the collaborative nature of theatre, where artistic and technical crafts converge. I am drawn to intelligent, hard-working, kind, and dynamic collaborators who share a passion for creating meaningful work.
My design ethos is rooted in graphic boldness, a playful yet refined aesthetic, and a commitment to layering meaning into every element. I challenge conventions, favouring innovative approaches that integrate design seamlessly into the heart of a production rather than treating it as mere decoration.
Within creative teams, I flourish when given scope to contribute meaningfully, bringing an energetic, analytical, and intuitively creative approach. My methods range from deep conversations and hands-on workshops to producing sketches, samples, and models that bring ideas to life. Ethical integrity is at the heart of my practice—not only in the work but also in how it is created. I champion kindness, respect, inclusivity, and challenge injustice or inequality.
I believe in the transformative power of art that is intellectually engaging and emotionally resonant, striving to create theatre that welcomes diverse audiences. My career includes collaborations with The Abbey Theatre, Irish National Opera, The Gate Theatre, and the Royal Opera House, alongside work with Malaprop, the company I co-founded in 2015. I regularly work with directors like Claire O’Reilly, Oonagh Murphy, and Marc Atkinson. My designs have appeared on stages in Dublin, London, New York, and Beijing.
