About me

I am an experience costume maker, breakdown and dye artist working for Scotland's biggest and most respected companies.
For the past two years I have held the position of a costume assistant in Perth Theatre. During that time I had the opportunity to work on variety of productions - including CATS award winners - 'Knives in Hens' (dir. Lu Kemp) and 'Lost at Sea' (dir. Ian Brown).
During my time in Perth - apart from various period costume makes - I had a chance to perfect my fabric dyeing skills, meticulously processing cottons, wools and silks to meet designer's requrements - on several shows. As well as constructing variety of 3D objects including: armours ('Richard III'), foam wigs ('Aladdin') and sculptural headdresses ('Snow White and Seven Dames', 'Aladdin'). My breakdown skills were improved while working on several productions that needed variety of techniques used - from gentle worn and stained clothes ('Miss Julie'), through vinyl oilskins dirtied and broken down ('Lost at Sea'), up to advanced stages of decay ('Knives in Hens').
Respectively, I was a principal dresser on Perth Theatre's shows and a head of running wardrobe on 'Lost at Sea' Scottish Tour - responsible for get-ins and get-outs, maintenance and dressing the cast of nine actors and musicians.
