About me
I've been fascinated by the world of theatre and visual arts since a young age and started studying theatre during my BA (Hons) in Foreign Languages Literatures and Theatre in Milan, Italy, after many years as a dancer.Greatly enjoying practical work, then I decided I preferred being on the "production side" of the business and started my career in costume making after attending Northern College of Costume creating both period and vintage womanswear and tailored menswear.
I was very lucky having the opportunity to have a glimpse at Royal Opera House right at the beginning of my career and lately tour for Bath Theatre Royal, I am now an accurate and hard work freelancer mainly for theatre productions and the film industry, always thrilled to look for new experiences and opportunities to grow.
Additional skills:
- excellent dressing and maintenance skills
- touring experience
- design interpretation
- understanding of costume construction process
- hand sewing, alterations and repair
- tailoring
- use of domestic and industrial machineries
- fabric and haberdashery knowledge
- flat pattern drafting and draping

- organizing both individual and group work on tight deadlines
