Description	:	Question: What interested you in theatre in the first place and the key stages to how your career developed? Answer: I first came into contact with theatre at school as an actor and then again at college and I think everyone who goes into the theatre needs to be stage struck in some way. And that's how I became stage struck through acting. This seemed to gel with an also love of drawing and painting which started quite late on I suppose, I was fourteen or fifteen. And the two came together, in fact I trained as a lawyer first but by the time I was finishing that degree I'd already decided to do design. So a year later I applied to design school and was lucky enough rather than to go through the process of what was then a foundation course, they offered me a place on the diploma course which I think then became a BA course at Wimbledon a year after I finished doing Law. So I did another degree in Stage Design at Wimbledon so I'm very well qualified.
