- Hi! I've been directing professionally since 2011.

I established a new young people's company 'BRAIN' with the company back in 2011 which is still going from strength to strength.
My creative interests are in the process of bringing people together and always questioning the potential of, what theatre can bring to our lives, and how can we continue to explore new ways of communicating the form with existing and new audiences? I'm always looking for work that 'talks' to us in contemporary society, that makes us think about how we live in the world, now.
I direct on a national level as well as site specific with in devised and new writing processes and have also mentored new writers in the field of dramaturgy with Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru 2019.
