My journey into the Arts began when I obtained my BA (Hons) at Central St. Martins, followed by an Arts Council Bursary to design at West Yorkshire Playhouse.  1978-80 I was Resident Designer at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre, followed by Bristol Old Vic from 1980-82 and from there until 1987 Head of Design at Derby Playhouse.  I designed 54 shows in these four venues including twelve premiers of new writing- ‘Love Bites’ by the late Antony Mingella as well as numerous classics like ‘The Country Wife’ and ‘Julius Caesar.
