About me
I have always had an interest in creating costumes for drama, fancy dress and comic con exhibitions that I like to attend. The degree course allowed me to develop my skills. It gave me a wide range of construction, maintenance and design skills, with a strong emphasis on practical work experience in a variety of settings including theatre and TV. I secured a 3 month contract as a Wardrobe Assistant with Belgrade Production Services shortly after graduating in 2017, assisting with fittings and constructing costumes. I was subsequently offered a Dresser role from Nov - January then on-going for recent touting productions. I enjoy working as part of a team and have received compliments for my work and people skills.Additional skills:
Construction skills covered - fittings, body padding, pattern cutting, tailoring, corsetry, historical/period costumes and context, embellishments, breaking down of costumes and screen printing. I have acquired and demonstrated high level of skills in management of the workroom, including use and care of equipment. I am experienced in working on domestic and industrial sewing machines and over-lockers.
I have held a full driving licence since October 2012.
