sI was very proud to be able to take my Mum and Dad along to the Official Premier of the Cousins film in Rotorua. Especially my poor dad who has been very unwell over the last year. It was great to catch up with all the cast and crew again and watch the final product of our labour together. 

I feel so incrediably honoured to have the opportunity to do the Production Design on this important film. Thank you to the Directors, Ainsley Gardener and Briar Grace-Smith, for entrusting me with your vision for this piece.

All the cast and crew did such a brilliant job. Tino pai!

In late 2018 / early 2019 I did the Production design for the feature film REUNION. This film is now about to be released in cinemas on November the 5th 2020. The location we utilised for the film was Balgownie house and, though the film was set in present day, we redeorated the house to resemble more closely it's former years. It was a stunning historical place to work within and I feel proud to have contributed to a moment in time upon it's walls.

Check out the trailer and watch the full release at a theatre near you or online when possible.

So happy to finally be set up in my new studio at the Nautilus Creative Space in Ōwhiro Bay.

Though it was a heart wrenching mission discarding heaps of my old props and set dressing items from my storage locker in Newtown, its been great to shed some weight out of my life and make way for new possibilities. 

It's cool to be part of a multi disciplined artistic collective and I look forward to the creative collaborations ahead. 

If anyone needs any old books, lamps or curtains for an upcoming production give me a bell!

In late January we began pre-production on the Kāpiti based feature film Poppy. The story of a young Down syndrome woman who refuses to be defined by her disability and decides to take control of her own life. 

My role was Production Designer and, though most sets were shot on location, there was still plenty of room for character development through the current-day domestic settings in which they inhabited. 

One of the most exciting scenes we shot, was the burn out competition at the Masterton Motorplex. Wow, what a smoky spectacle that was! The Rapanats provided the authenticity of the event and our team just had to provide the extra florishes.

We had just dressed our biggest set of the whole shoot when we went into lockdown, so in a flurry of boxes and paranoia we undressed it, re set it back to normal, shifted out of our Kāpiti accomodation and headed back to the city. 

Once we hit level 2 our film started up again and we were the first film in New Zealand to resume shooting after lockdown. With this came numerous new protocols and procedures which we all diligently took in our stride, and the final week of shooting went smoothly.

I had a great day today helping my mate Michaela Stoneman hang her show at the new Sisters of Compassion gallery out in Island Bay. Being a brand new exhibition space the walls were pristine so we had to be extra careful not to leave a mark!

Using the logos and signage I designed many moons ago, Opportunity for Animals Opshop in Newtown finally got the exterior signage it deserves  today.
​With help from Jesse Mullen we managed to make sure that no one will ever be confused as to what this shop is again!
