Recent TV & Film Set design graduate with two years of experience in busy hospitality venues. Used to fast-paced environments, short deadlines, and keeping things running smoothly whilst under pressure. My experience blends visual and organisational skills from production work with practical customer service and floor experience. Looking for opportunities across creative production, event operations, or hospitality management.
