About

I am a creative + versatile Production Designer for Film and TV. I have worked on many feature films + TV series in Ireland, Europe, Morocco, UK + India. As well as projects on home turf, I enjoy working on co-productions across several countries, both location and studio set build shoots. I have designed period and contemporary pieces. I speak fluent French and basic Spanish. My Production Design career kickstarted in '92 with "Mira Mara" for Eo Teilifis - 5 x children's TV "Muppet" type series which were sold internationally to 36 countries. I previously worked as a Furniture Designer (Habitat. My Masters Degree is from the Royal College of Art, UK )and for 5 years as a Theatre Designer (Horse + Bamboo Theatre, UK) and with Indian Theatre group from the Barefoot College in Rajasthan. I also sometimes work as Set Decorator (Graham Norton's ITV series "HOLDING", shot in West Cork / "Harry Wild" Season 1). A selection of some of the contemporary and period projects I have designed is listed below. Aside from set design, I am a keen horsewoman and animal trainer/ wrangler. .
