Sophia Pardon

I am a London-based Theatre Designer in the early stages of my career. I trained at Wimbledon College of Arts on the Theatre Design MA. I love storytelling, play, fantasy and working with multi-roling ensemble. I like to fuse abstract elements with the very real to tell important stories. Aesthetically I love texture - in particular, derelict or industrial structures and abandoned, forgotten or nowhere places. However, I like to also vary my work and so try to take on a variety of projects including plays, musicals and immersive pieces.
