About me

I am a creative and enthusiastic worker, being very open minded and with a passion for problem solving I often find solutions through approaching problems from a different perspective.
Having completed university at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama with a First in Costume Construction, I went straight into working on the Disney film 'Cruella' as an embellishment trainee which I loved, and following that worked as a costume supervisor and assistant supervisor for two theatre productions which I also really enjoyed. I am looking to expand on my skills in both the making and wardrobe areas, and I also enjoy costume designing too.

I have a personal specialism in drag costume and latex clothing, making a lot of my own personal work around these areas which I also take commissions for.
Additional skills:
Making with Latex, plastic work, tailoring, alterations, dyeing, breaking down, rhinestoning, body padding, stretchwear, photoshop, InDesign, corsetry
Referees:
Molly Syrett - Costume Supervisor 'Lady Chatterley's Lover'
Geoff Slack - Crowd Embellishment Supervisor 'Cruella'

I am a costume maker primarily, however I have experience of dressing, wardrobe management and maintenance.
