'‘The Linbury Prize was a great platform to help launch my career as a theatre designer and was a brilliant learning experience. I really valued the conversations with and opportunities to learn from experienced designers through the Linbury Prize process itself and also through the opportunities which followed such as the Linbury Bursary and the chance to work in the National Theatre’s design department.’'
