What do I do?

Over the years, I have explored various industries to discover where my skills and passions align best. As a result, I have accumulated a diverse set of experiences in creative, construction, and technical fields, particularly within the festival, film, theatre, and television industries.

My goal for the coming years is to establish Pickett Propmakers Ltd as a fully-fledged company. While technically it is I am focused on gaining experience across as many sectors as possible to enhance my capabilities and expertise. I am keen to be able to produce props and puppets for live events and theatre productions all across the UK and eventually become the go-to company that productions use to create their stories
