Costume Designer and Maker, recently finished my MFA in Performance Costume Design at Edinburgh College of Art. I have worked since 2004 in Educational and Professional Theatre. I have held various jobs in Costume Design, Design Assisting, Pattern Drafting and Draping, Cutting, and Wardrobe. During my MFA, I expanded my skills in fabric dyeing and manipulation. From 2008 to 2011, I worked at a Shakespearean Regional Theatre in Massachusetts, USA, where I designed and assisted on an array of classical and contemporary shows, ranging from indoor dramas to outdoor comedies. Most recently, I have begun working in film and television. I am currently looking for work in the following areas: Design, Design Assisting, Wardrobe, Painting and dyeing. I am also interested in tailoring and costume construction.Additional skills:
Shibori and synthetic Indigo dyeing, batiking, Pattern Drafting and Draping, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and In Design. Scenic model making. Costume crafts. Leather molding and sculpting. Welding with mig, tig, arc, and oxycetelin. Dyeing with disperse, direct, and procion. Ballet classical and romantic tutu construction. Building with unusual materials-mosquito netting. Professional grade patchwork and quilting. Face casts in plaster and latex mask building. Avid Star Wars fan and goer of many a ComiCon.
Industry awards:
