About me
I am a creative and experienced costume designer with the ability and resourcefulness to turn concepts into reality, whether period or contemporary.I have worked with many prestigious companies such as the BBC, Tiger Aspect, Working Title, Hogarth, Partizan, Young Vic Theatre. Clients include Sainsbury's, Mc Donalds, Dove and Mattel.
I studied the History of Art and Design at Camberwell College of Art. There, I developed excellent research skills within historical and contemporary contexts, I learned about art and design within culture, society and it's influence and inspiration in modern practices. It was in my final year that I specialised in costume.
My career started at the English National Opera as a buyer. I assisted many well known costume designers and supervisors. Importantly, this gave me a sound introduction to the world of costume design and was fantastic training for my career. Since then I have gone on to work for many prestigious companies such as the Royal Opera House, Angels, Young Vic, BBC, Tiger Aspect, Working Title and Big Talk, to name a few.
I have an excellent knowledge of suppliers, makers and hire companies as well as, crucially, the ability and resourcefulness to make a concept into reality.
I love to create character with subtlety and humour, ideas pulled from real life, people we can relate to. At the other end of the spectrum, I also enjoy imaginative, avant-garde, surreal and creative design. I have an eye for detail, obsessing over colour, fabric, textile, pattern and the overall aesthetic.
I have a keen interest in period clothing, fashion, trends, dressmaking, textiles, film and photography. I use references from these areas to influence my ideas and designs.
I have worked as a costume buyer, supervisor and designer in film, tv, commercials, promos, theatre and opera. I have also appeared on the BBC and E4 presenting style advice and makeovers.
Theatre professional:
I have worked in Costume for Film, TV and theatre for 10 years.
I am very experienced in many areas of costume, from research,consultation, sourcing, buying, supervising and designing.
