BIOGRAPHY
Devoid of substance, light has the singular capacity to create and metamorphize the visual and emotional impact of a place,
an architecture, a scene …
I have worked for a wide range of theatre, entertainment, architectural and theme park projects, nationally and internationally, both as
lighting designer and consultant. Following my training and ‘apprenticeship’ of 12 years designing for the theatre and finally working on a
number of west-end musicals, I moved to France - via WDI, Glendale - to work with Disney.
Following that, I have designed the lighting in a number of different disciplines, as much for the stage and show business, as for son et lumières,
spectacles and architecture.
A long and on-going affair with theme parks – design, installation and operation – has logically led me to the development of combining
theatrical lighting idioms into an architectural context, resulting in a dynamic and dramatic design approach. I have also incorporated high
definition image and video projection to further augment and extend the palette, offering even more innovative possibilities.
I have notably designed the park-wide themed lighting for Parc Asterix, the musical ‘Freedom’ at the Cirque d’Hiver, Paris; the Light Harp and
the main entrance hall for the Space Museum, Toulouse; ‘Fantasy Kingdom’ for the theme park ‘Gardaland’, Italy; the spectacle ‘Poussières
d’Etoiles’ for the Science and Industry Museum, Paris and ‘Océan de Vies’ at the marine museum, Océanopolis, Brest.
I have recently completed the lighting design for my second Center Parcs project, this time in the Vienne region, France.
My time is currently spent between France and the UK – to where I have recently returned.
The treatment of whatever subject through the application of light is achieved through an intimate understanding of this ephemeral medium
and its expressive possibilities. The result reflects the close collaboration and privileged dialogue with the client or design team and subsequent
creative translation of vision to reality.
