A graduate of the Italia Conti Academy, I started my career as a child actor before finding my true passion in re-enactment, Renaissance Faires, and LARP. Moving to Chichester 20 years ago, I began my journey as a leatherworker, armourer, and costumer. Surrounded by history and inspired by Hollywood epics, I pursued my dream despite the lack of guidance in the industry. As an entrepreneur, I've pushed boundaries, leading to spectacular designs and the creation of a thriving maker's community. This community inspired the Academy, representing my dedication to crowd-driven passion. My opus, a culmination of 25 years, invites learners to follow my path, knowing I'll keep working until the end. Now based in the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon, my dream persists.
