Before working in immersive experiences, I spent twelve years as an actor, writer and deviser. That background taught me something that continues to shape my work today: audiences don't simply want to witness stories, they want to feel part of them.
Since then, I've brought that philosophy into digital experiences, participatory events and large-scale immersive environments. My work combines narrative design, worldbuilding and audience psychology to create experiences that reward curiosity and transform audiences from observers into participants.
Most recently, I was Creative Lead on Wake The Tiger London, leading creative development across more than twenty environments, user testing, community co-creation and commercial storytelling. Alongside this, I have spent almost a decade with Fast Familiar, supporting creative direction across interactive experiences and co-creating The Curse of the Burial Dagger, winner of Best Mystery Game at the Bullseye Awards 2021.
I am particularly interested in experiences that encourage discovery, participation and wonder, and I love collaborating with diverse teams to create meaningful moments that people remember long after they've ended.
Awards include The Stage Award for Acting Excellence, Best Mystery Game at the Bullseye Awards and the Gold Award from Goldsmiths, University of London.
Because, at the heart of it all, I believe stories are strongest when audiences become part of them.
