About me
Throughout my practice I have always focused on scenography; designing costume, set and lighting for theatre performance.With experience as a performer myself (dance, aerial and figure skating) I use my experience and passions to help understand the body – giving me a unique eye for how costume works with silhouette, movement and light in the world of live performance.
Additional skills:
Drawing: I enjoy working with a range of drawing materials including pencil, paints and markets. My favourite approach being mixed media.
Model Making: I have skills in model making, having made 1:25 and 1:50 scale set model-boxes for both live productions and university projects.
Puppetry: I have skills in puppetry, having made a life-size puppet for the production of A Christmas Carol
Draping on the stand: Having taken a workshop during 2nd year for draping on the stand and advanced finishing techniques, I also have skills in pattern drafting and costume construction.
Supervising: I have experience with supervising and leading a small make-up team on live production, handling budgets and sourcing costumes and set for theatre.
Industry experience: I have past experience of both being a performer, figure skater, aerialist and working freelance as a dancewear costume maker – I understand fabric movement and how fabric looks under certain lights.
Computer skills – I have very confident skills in Photoshop, Illustrator, AutoCAD and Google Sketch-up. I have skills in Microsoft Office: Word, Excel, Publisher and PowerPoint.
