I'm Jack, a London based Lighting Designer originally from Chelmsford, Essex.
When I started to work backstage at my local theatre at 18, I soon realised that lighting was my passion.
Here I taught myself the basics of theatre craft, soon after taking the role of Technical Director.
After graduating in 2018 I freelanced as a Production Electrician, giving me in-depth knowledge of the mechanics of performance lighting. After moving into touring relighting, I now focus on Lighting Design in all aspects of live performance and visual art.
Lighting is such a fascinating medium. There is something about it's intangibility that has always fascinated me. The way it can evoke such primal, deep set emotions. The way it can capture a mood, or remind you of something from the past. The iconography of light; I don't underestimate its power. I try to harness this each time I design. To the level that the lighting feels like it belongs in the moment.
​
In my work I am very image/concept led and strive for meaningful collaboration. I work best when no department is closed; where we can all contribute from our experiences and unique outlooks.
I like to work on stories that are very much in the forefront of the human psyche, not often told or have a strong message. I strive to bring my unique outlook and artistic flare to all the work I produce.
