01. About me
I'm Matthew, a pharmacist based in Wiltshire with a long-standing passion for technical theatre. Outside healthcare, I enjoy being part of the creative and technical teams that bring live performances to life.
My interest in technical theatre began with lighting, and over the years I've enjoyed getting involved in everything from lighting and stage management to video design and projection. While I enjoy all aspects of backstage production, I've developed a particular specialism in video design, projection mapping and playback systems, combining creativity with the technical challenges of making ambitious ideas work on stage.
These projects are a record of the productions I've been involved in, the people I've worked alongside, the challenges we've tackled and what I've learnt along the way — including the things that didn't always go to plan.
02. Pharmacy
My pharmacy career spans community pharmacy, primary care, medication safety and education. I combine clinical practice with team leadership and the development of practical tools to support safe, effective care.
