I've always been a maker, the product of artistic parents. I've been sculpting and making props for TV, animation, stage and film productions since the mid 90's. 

After nearly 20 years of being a freelance prop maker and sculptor in 2014 I set up Pinewood Creative, an in-house prop making workshop in Pinewood studios, and ran this until 2017, when I returned to Bristol and established my own company, Mangostone Ltd. with my business partner Tony Tarquini.

At Mangostone we make sets, props and models, but we specialise in the more complex side of this work. With a super talented team we create creature FX, animatronics, mechanical sets and sculptures, as well as soft props, SFX props, replicas and action props.
