Theatre professional:
I'm a hard-working and friendly practitioner who has previous experience working with the BBC as an assistant looking after SAs, at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre assisting with sourcing and alterations, Angels in the Civilian Hire Department helping to pull costumes and to maintain a tidy stock, with Resource Productions, The Arts Council and Screen South.

I have a specialised knowledge about Pakistani dress, hopefully one of the short films that I designed to this specification will be screening on Channel 4 soon and another has been nominated for the Audience Award at the Florence River to River Indian film festival. I have also constructed an 18th century costume designed by Francis Tempest for a music video and completed a mask making internship in Romania. I previously ran a circus society so know a lot about the requirements for those costumes and how they can effect performance ability, I am flexible and keen to learn and try out different areas of costume.
My skills include: Sewing, alterations, standby, continuity, sourcing, producing film files/ costume bibles (budgets, script breakdowns, plots), costume breakdown and dye work, researching, supervising, designing, pulling, wardrobe maintenance, latex work, mask making, working with green screen, textiles manipulation, maintaining archives and styling.
