Area of expertise
My work centers around immersive exhibition making which includes design, build and direction of teams of specialist technicians and makers to complete the environment. I use a range of mediums to achieve the intsallatiions which often resemble sci-fi film sets. My recent work has incorporated a range of intereactive technology, such Holographic LED videos to create unique immersive experiences that are specific to the location within which they are built.
