Role
Petty Cash Buyer

My love of film & TV started when I snuck into the TV room whilst my parents were watching Moulin Rouge, not the most appropriate movie for a 7-year-old but I was captivated by the lights, costumes and most importantly the sets!

I didn’t realise then that this fantastical world of design could be a career but after graduating from university, those dreams came true when I was offered work experience on ‘Outlander’, introducing me to the amazing world of set dressing.

Wanting to learn more, I applied for a ScreenSkills traineeship, where I got to work on ‘1917’ in Graphics and Set Dec. I was able to grow my prop making, research and organisational skills that led me onto my next job on ‘Batman’, where I discovered a love for prop buying and even the paperwork that comes with it!

My current position as a buyer on ‘Wonka’ has allowed me to continue with the sourcing and dressing aspects that I love but I’ve also been able to work closely with the drapes team by sourcing the set’s fabrics.

All the people I’ve worked with so far have made my experience unforgettable and I cannot wait to see what the next chapter holds!
