Throughout my time at university I have learnt and explored a variety of different skills within the Art Department of the T.V and Film industry. I have tried many different opportunities and I have enjoyed learning and expanding my knowledge. I have found a particular passion in set dressing/decorating through working on short films and during work experience, I aspire to have a career in this area of the Art Department. I have also really enjoyed working at Celtic Prop Hire since July 2021, I have learnt so much about the industry and feel I have a good knowledge of how prop houses and prop buying works. I’m excited to further my skills within the Art Department.
