About me
I am an eager young Costume Maker/Supervisor building a career in costume production for the stage and screen. I have recently completed a BA (HONS) in Costume with Performance Design at the Arts University College Bournemouth and am looking out for job opportunities with theatre or film companies.I relish the creative challenge of evolving my costumes through collaboration with both performer and designer.
Recent projects include making garments for the National Theatre hire department and a specialist prop costume (using Plastazote) for the pantomime dame in 'Dick Whittington and his cat'. This was for the Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds.
Currently I have made a principal actor's costume for Cirque Bijou and desperate men's production of 'Battle for the Winds' production destined for the Olympic opening ceremonies in Weymouth.
