About me

I’ve been working for over 8 years in the costume department and workshops for Opera, Ballet as costume supervisor, wardrobe assistant, props maker, fabrics dyer.
Those different experience gave me the chance to sharpen my versatility for many duties, from organisational responsibilities to practical tasks as props maker, dying fabrics and breaking down.
I also particularly enjoyed the fittings process, helping select, fitting, and taking care of costumes for cast members.
Additional skills:
I always maintain a meticulous attention to detail, acute sense of color which I was able to develop working into the dyer department. The balance and the choice of texture, color and breaking down in a piece are of paramount importance and is something I keep at the forefront of my mind when I dying pieces for the stage or film. I’ve also followed the process to build the dye room.
