About me

I am passionate about costume design, fashion and art in both contemporary and period eras. I have recently been awarded a high 2.1 B.A Hons. in Costume Construction for Stage and Screen studying at Glamorgan University in Cardiff.
My Skills include costume making and designing, creating unique pieces to a high standard. Combined with creatively interpreting costume and sourcing fabrics worldwide, I am innovative and conscientious in the design from start to finish. Particular areas of expertise include specialist bead work and corsetry. I also like to make costumes and garments in my own time whether it be starting a design from scratch from the pattern cutting to the final design or upcycling older items to create something truly unique.
After graduating I undertook volunteer work at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama working as a wardrobe and costume assistant which I throughly enjoyed and learnt many of the key skills needed when working in a busy theatre.
I am excited about future work opportunities within the industry where I can showcase my creativity whilst also developing new skills along the way.
