About me
Trained at Wimbledon art College in costume design Since then my career has taken me to a wide variety of jobs and productions. From designing fresh new youth theatre productions taken to Edinburgh fringe festival to working on a cruise ship with carnival cruises.I have designed and assisted on several different project with young people and people with learning difficulties. i would say I'm pretty knowledgable in the areas of communitiy theatre.
For the last 3 years I have spent my summer working in Carnival arts. Designing and making costume for the London School of samba this has been one of my most favoured jobs to date. Combining my skills of community work with an open and expressive creative art form like carnal costume is a constant source of enjoyment to me. Look out for my costume at this years Notting hill.
Additional skills:
Alongside costumes designing, I am a competent maker, my years in the industry has meant I am often working solo and on a tight so to create exactly what I want, I have taught myself to sew, and Pattern cut.
I am also pretty good with my hands often branching out into work with set designers i have a good working knowledge of et building and prop making. I have my own studio including all machines and tools I need to get most creative projects rolling.
