Crew:
After completing a BA (Hons) degree in Costume for the Screen and Stage I worked for approx 6 years in theatre and gained many skills in all elements and roles of the wardrobe department.
I started as Dresser and Maintenance and over the years have progressed to wardrobe Assistant, Wardrobe Mistress, Wardrobe Supervisor, Maker and designer.
I am now at a stage where I really would love to expand my horizons and skills into Film and TV Costume. At university I learned about many elements of costume for Film and TV including Location shooting, Continuity and Working with details up close all of which vary a great deal from theatre, I have always had a greta passion for Film and TV and am now looking for an opportunity to become a part of it.
