Experienced Technical Director and Lighting Designer living in London. Experiential events, conferences, live music and virtual/hybrid events delivered on four continents and counting! Aspiring longboard shredder, rock star and noodle chef.
I am an experienced client-facing technical director based in London with global experience. Having worked directly for brands, with agencies and supplier-side I have an excellent network of industry contacts and well-maintained supplier relationships making me an asset to any event delivery team. I work in experiential, conferencing and live music across in-person, virtual and hybrid mediums.
I was in charge of delivery of the technical elements for bespoke events around the world. I worked with the client-facing project management team to establish what the technical requirements for each event were. From there I was able to design the technical elements to suit the brief, produce kit lists, plan the on-site execution and manage the installation crew on site. The events ranged from high-end private parties to experiential events to corporate events (conferences, receptions, award shows) in countries all over the world including the UAE, Spain, USA and South Africa.
As a technical project manager, I worked with the client and producer to develop the technical brief in order to design the lighting, audio and video systems for a variety of corporate events and private parties around the UK. The venues I worked in were a mix including large-scale Grade 1 listed buildings such as the Natural History Museum, Kensington Palace and Tate Britain as well as other venues like Printworks, Sky Garden at 20 Fenchurch St. and The Shard. Due to the public nature of a lot of these venues, install times for shows were very tight. Sometimes we had less than one hour to transform these spaces into bespoke party environments or conferences with full audio, lighting and video systems. Effective crew management and forward planning was key for on-site execution with very little room for error.
I was responsible for the lighting designs for each show that was produced as well as the day-to-day maintenance and running of the lighting department.
