About me
I am a trained Costume Maker, Supervisor and Wardrobe Mistress looking for work in Theatre, Film and TV. I graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art with a Postgraduate Diploma in Theatre Costume in 2014.Primarily a costume maker, I have excellent pattern cutting and hand and machine sewing skills, a keen eye for detail and skills in embroidery, millinery, tailoring, and costume prop making. I am also a competent supervisor with good interpersonal and communication skills, and have proficient experience as a wardrobe mistress and dresser. I have also worked on a number of short films as a costume standby and designer, and am keen to broaden my film experience.
I have a background in Fine Art, and am naturally creative and imaginative. I have good administration and computer skills, and a full drivers licence.
I enjoy meeting new people and hope to continue to build upon my skills and experience in new and exciting environments.
