I have considerable experience across the whole range of live performances. My clients for commercial conferences and product launches include many blue chip companies. I work well as part of a creative team and have an established knowledge of lighting suppliers around the World. I have lived in Singapore for two years and worked extensively in the South East Asia region. I have also lived in the South Of France for five years between 1999 and 2004 and know the Venues, Crew and Suppliers very well.

I am experienced in the use of the lighting design software package called WYSIWYG, and have used this successfully to show ideas and renderings for shows. I also have a good working knowledge of Autocad.
