About me
Theatre professional:This is me: I am an experienced freelance costume designer and wardrobe professional. Having graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with a first class degree in Performance Costume in 2014, I now predominantly work in theatre in all aspects of costume, from design and making work to wardrobe assisting and dressing. Examples of my previous projects include Costume Designer for Edinburgh Playhouse and the Edinburgh Fringe, Wardrobe Supervisor for Pantomime and Dressing for Birmingham Royal Ballet. I am currently on tour with a BillKenwright production as deputy for wardrobe and wigs. I have a fun and creative style and am passionate about pursuing my career in theatre.
Additional skills:
I have good knowledge and skill of pattern cutting both modern and historical, machine and hand sewing, fabric manipulation, as well as 3D building skills all of which helps greatly through understanding the combination of design and making. As well as this I have a good knowledge of design research, development, illustration drawing and technical drawings, which allows me to portray my ideas and designs well as well as translate them to others. This works well within dressing and wardrobe assisting as it allows me to be fully aware, for example, of how a garment is put together, the correct and efficient ways to adjust or fix costumes. I also have experience with dance and acrobatic costumes, designing dance costumes for the Edinburgh Fringe as well as aerobatic costumes for special performances.

Additional information:
I am used to working in all sorts of conditions and I usually travel for work. I have had many years of experience both before university, during and after which has allowed me to work along side full production and design teams as well as directors and actors both on a small independent scale and a larger team. I can take on board others' thoughts and ideas as well as be able to contribute my own work to a team. I am a hard and dedicated worker, always putting my all into any task and to the best of my ability. I work well to a time scale and do not mind putting in extra hours of work when the role requires it.
