Every event, starts with a stage.

Freelance Set Carpentry Services

But what do I actually do?

Working alongside the production manager, creative design team, or even the artists themselves, I put in meticulous effort to ensure your vision is flawlessly brought to life on stage. Whether it's a cosy local corporate event or a massive arena-sized music show, I plan and maintain every aspect of the stage build, ensuring that your imagination truly comes alive in the spotlight.
