Special Effects Work

As a graduate of Character Make-Up Design from IADT Dublin, I bring a multidisciplinary approach to character creation for film.

My skills span prosthetic design and application, special effects make-up, wig and hair work, sculpture, mold-making, and detailed beauty and corrective make-up—crafted with precision for camera-ready results.

I’m passionate about translating narrative and emotion through visual transformation, and I thrive in both collaborative and fast-paced production environments. This portfolio reflects the diversity of materials, techniques, and characters I’ve brought to life across film, theatre, and live performance.
