I grew up in Mill Hill which is London but not how you know it. Open spaces, woods, fields, horses and cows at the top of my road. I love this about London a surprise around every corner!
A careers adviser that came to my secondary school sent me off to The Brit School so that was the acting path set. Having the mega impressive little-big sis as an artist embedded that into my make-up. She made it easy accessible and fun. As an adult I felt bored waiting for the phone to ring with my next acting job and so went back to the other creative baby in my womb designing and making an living next door to my little-big sis it just all made sense. Being an actor allows you to make-believe you can do anything and if your good you believe it yourself as do all around you.
It's amazing to have a day dream, a moment of inspiration or even just a feeling and then watch it grow into something tangible that other people enjoy.
