“I’m a Visual Artist based in Manchester, and I have been creating and performing live visuals at The Warehouse Project since 2021. I also work on shows and festivals across the UK, including Boomtown Fair, Parklife Festival, and Bluedot Festival.
With a background in Graphic Design, I’ve always been interested in building immersive environments - exploring how light and moving images can transform a space into something experiential. I’m drawn to the sense of community that forms on the dance floor; when music, visuals, lighting, and crowd energy align, they create a collective identity that allows people to get lost in a moment. I’m particularly interested in how rhythm can be mirrored visually, responding to BPM, tension, and release to support the energy in the room.
My process begins in motion-based or generative software, and I usually shape the identity of the visuals around the style and atmosphere of the music. I export these as looped clips to perform live in Resolume, where I layer, distort, and manipulate them in real time, allowing me to create multiple visual outcomes from a single piece of content.
The Warehouse Project has played a significant role in my development as a Visual Artist, and I’d love to eventually push my practice further into fully immersive, large-scale environments, combining installation, live performance, and digital art.”
