About me
Hello!I'm Sara Balestrieri, I graduated in 2020 with an MFA in Costume Design for Performance at ECA of the University of Edinburgh and started working in the costume department for film and TV.
I completed an internship at Angels Costume House in London, in 2021. After, I worked for various High-end TV projects and independent film productions, covering multiple roles as costume fitter, stand-by, and assistant.
My main tasks were preparing the line-up for the shooting, assisting/doing the fittings with the actors, establishing the looks following my supervisor's guidelines, quick alterations, standing by on set, keeping track of all the changes/outfits (generally using the app Sync on Set), buying, breaking down the scripts.
I'm confident with apps and computer programs (Excel, PowerPoint, Adobe Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, InDesign...) and I learn quickly to use new tools.
I'm able to hand sew and use both industrial and domestic machines and I'm good at quick alterations.
I'm a very organized person, I love working in a team, trying to bring positivity and good energy to the group! I always try to focus on delivering quality work that’s of the highest standard and to find creative and quick solutions to problems and challenges, without losing my positive spirit!
I'm not scared of challenging myself, and I'm ready to give my best the next new adventure!
