About me

I have always had a passion for art but it wasn’t until I went to college and studied Production Arts that I realised I wanted a career within the creative arts industry for theatre and film. Through my time at college I was lucky enough to have the experience of working in the theatre as a costume designer/ maker and set designer. I love the atmosphere from working within the theatre, that adrenaline rush you get when the curtains go up is a feeling ill never want to forget. This then led me on to studying BA(Hons) Creative Arts for Theatre and Film where I specialised in costume design and construction, especially period style clothing. Even though I specialise in costume I still have an interest in prop making and scenic arts. I am really looking forward to working within the industry and meeting like-minded people and learning new things.
