DESIGNER
The design process begins with a deep connection and understanding of the project. My primary objective is to enhance the emotion conveyed through the music. I believe that developing a connection to the music is the key to creating a unique relationship between the visual and audio components of a show thus delivering a complete package enhancing the original intention of the artist. Through utilizing the resources available as well as developing unique elements, each show is special in its own way.
Raised in a household of music lovers I was exposed to a wide range of music. From Trip-hop to Death Metal and everything in between giving me a wide appreciation for all styles of music.
From the first show I attended at a local town hall, my passion for live music was cemented. In my early career, I toured pub shows extensively throughout Australia. This was where I fine tuned my ability to adapt to different venue systems and onsite requirements. I then went on to tour as a System Technician/Crew Chief for various production houses, regularly working on large scale shows.
With a vast amount of Festival experience including NH7 Weekender (India), Download (UK), Silence (Nepal), SoundWave (Australia), Nummirock (Finland) and many more, I have the ability to tailor an existing show design to be suitable to a festival stage. My experience has best prepared me to go into a festival setting with realistic expectations and the knowledge of how to achieve the best product.
Utilizing what is available, I am always looking for how to achieve the best possible outcome. Regardless of the scale of show, from an intimate pub setting to an arena, every performance is special and unique, requiring the utmost attention to detail.
With over 15 years touring experience in the industry, I always give consideration to how the system is built and transported. This allows for realistic load-in/out times whilst delivering a unique show night after night.
