I’m currently studying MA Events & Experiences Management at Goldsmiths University.

I am an award-winning storyteller and maker who works with people across various fields in a wide range of industries to help them tell stories. I help create events and craft experiences, from live productions to video games to immersive audio experiences.

I have been a professional creative in the arts as an actor, writer, and maker for 13 years. I’m interested in world-building, elements of play within events, and immersive entertainment. My goal is to create transformative experiences that transport people from their everyday lives, prioritising LGBTQIA+ visibility, diversity and togetherness, wellness, and, of course, entertainment.

 
 
 
 

Background

As a creative, I have worked all across the globe, including the West End and Off-Broadway. In 2016, I was awarded The Stage Award For Acting Excellence. My work ranged from theatre, TV, immersive experiences and voice acting. I am an Associate Artist with Fast Familiar, a digital studio that creates ‘audience-centric’ experiences. Together, we have devised and co-written four interactive digital games, an audio-walk dealing with male violence and an AR choose-your-own-misadventure experience.

In 2022, I worked at Lush’s Global Flagship Store on Oxford Street as a Supervisor and part of the In-Store Events team. The events I created for the store were one-off, immersive experiences to capture the imaginations of the customers with plenty of interactivity. I created a very successful not-for-profit ‘London Pride’ weekend-long experience, and the success of my final event, a month-long ‘Plastic-Free July’ celebration, saw an increase in gross profit of "naked products" at 13.93% from the previous year, with a 15% increase in sales of units.

He has a knack of building instant rapport with people - whether they are 11 year olds co-designing a game or elected Council Members reviewing environmental policy. His easy, friendly manner engenders trust and confidence. He is analytical without ever making other people feel defensive or lacking. He is one of the most consistently professional people I have ever had the pleasure of working with, always calm under pressure, punctual and well-prepared. He is the person you want on-hand in a crisis - or more likely, the person who will stop a crisis from happening./  Rachel Briscoe, Fast Familiar  /
