ARTS UNI GRADUATE ON HER ROLE AT DORSET COMPANY
Special effects job is a labour of love

A PLYMOUTH graduate says her role working for a visual special effects company extended beyond her expectations after she became involved in high-profile television and West End shows.

Miki Neal, a BA (Hons) Costume Production graduate from Arts University Plymouth, has established a successful career for herself with Dorset-based Twins FX, a leader in theatre production special effects.

Miki’s pivotal journey as seamstress, model and prop maker at the company began when she did work experience with them after graduating in 2019.

Miki said: “I first worked for Twins FX in 2019 doing a work placement after I finished university.

“I was also working at Hobbycraft in Plymouth, so I took holiday leave in order to work at Twins FX for a week in July and another week in September.
