Bio
Sara Martins, (Assoc. CIPD)
It was wonderful to work with Saphia. She is highly motivated and pays attention to detail. Also very creative. Good luck on your journeys
Deborah Nash
Saphia was wonderful to work with on every level. She designed an imaginative and flexible knitted backdrop for The Knitting Pattern play that could be adapted to different performance spaces, which was visually striking wherever and however it was placed. She was also calm and charming and enthusiastic and open, and got on well with her co-creators; I could not have wished for more.
