About me

I have 20 years industry experience as a Costume and Set Designer in Theatre designing from historical and contemporary scripts for theatre and opera, touring theatre and opera, site specific events, and exhibition spaces. I have designed a number of short films as Production and Costume Designer. I am seeking to expand my experience in TV/Film/advert Industry would be keen to take on design assistant roles as well as buyer / set dresser or standby roles. I live in West Yorkshire within close commute of Manchester/Leeds and Liverpool/Sheffield.
Skills include working from script, creating costume plots, hiring, sourcing, buying and returning costume and props, basic sewing/alterations, soft prop construction, costume fitting, research, costume illustration, painting, scale model making and technical drawing.
I have a broad knowledge of historical periods and have taught costume design at Higher Education level for 14 years. I have also run workshops with youth and community groups on similar topics.
I have excellent organisational skills, I am experienced at working with budgets and doing a lot with very little! I am experienced at communicating ideas to creative teams, working as part of a collaborative team and managing small teams. I can work to deadlines and keep calm in a high pressure working environment.
Hobbies include lifting weights which comes in handy for lugging large amounts of costume around the country! I also love theatre/film/live gigs/reading and dragging my kids on long hill walks!
