Amy Sharp

A motivated and collaborative props maker with a strong interest in working within an art department. Experienced in workshop environments and confident working alongside designers, technicians, and fellow makers. I value the opportunity to share my existing skills while continuing to learn and develop new techniques to improve my practice. With a strong enthusiasm for props making and design, I am keen to contribute positively to a team, bringing energy and creativity to every project.
