About me

I have always had a passion for sewing and creating things and my love of costume developed at an early stage after falling in love with the theatre. I obtained a degree in Costume with Textiles from the University of Huddersfield and during my time here I discovered my love for costume construction and embroidery.

I have worked closely with Reach Performing Arts Company in Huddersfield and was in charge of the costumes for their performances. I designed, constructed, bought and managed all the costumes and props for their shows. I was also in charge of the budget which gave me a sense of responsibility and management in the company.

I have recently interned in the Production department at Angels Costumiers. This internship gave me a knowledge and understanding of the "behind the scenes" life of theatre and film. I have also spent a period of time in the alterations department at Angels and it was here that I have developed skills in altering all sorts of costumes under pressure. This department also gave me an insight and growing love for military costumes and embroidery.
