About me
Whilst studying a BA in Theatre Design I was able to find my passion for costume making. Over the last 7 years I have concentrated on costume construction and Dressing. I enjoy every process of costume making from basic blocks to hand-stitching hems and dressing. I have a thirst for learning which allow me to constantly achieve new skills whilst doing the job I have dreamt of.Through this work I have leaned to work efficiently under pressure and finish work to the time-scale. I am also aware of the working hours being long and hard and that I will need to be flexible to work when needed.
I have found that I work well in a group and communicate effectively and creatively with others. I am very hard working, motivated and enjoy the challenge of learning new techniques and skills. My abilities are ranging, allowing me to practice these new skills effectively quickly due to experience in the field. I am outgoing, creative and a responsible individual.
I have a sense of humour and I think it's essential to have a friendly and cheerful attitude in stressful positions. I am a great team member and love to use my own initiative to.
I have a very high standard in whatever I am doing. I only produce work that I am happy with and feel is good enough for my employer. I am hardworking and very organised, reliable and punctual.
