Rates
​
Please just get in touch for fees. I don't bite, I don't want to screw anybody over and everything's negotiable. If your project is ACE funded, or you are a non-fringe venue producer, I expect industry standard fees. If you're working on a shoestring, there are ways of non-financial support; only you know what you can personally offer. On my end, as an emerging artist, it will be a guarantee and quantification of exposure preconditioning any involvement for little money - this could be an exclusivity deal, promotional space, guaranteed work with partners, royalties and future place in funding application. It could also be free space to develop my own non-design work - I'm always hungry for that. Last bit of advice: the more designers are underpaid, the more designers are underpaid; sometimes it's better to pay royalties on a track.
I'm also available to be additionally hired as a lighting, sound or AV technician and/or operator (get in touch for CV) with any sound design commission at a cost of £10/hour plus expenses (which is less than I charge in those roles freelance, and industry minimum).

I am based in London.
