Theatre professional:
I am an independent, creative, friendly and sociable person. I feel I fully understand the merits of participation and am not afraid of a challenge. Succeeding both in and out of education is important to me, as is having a balance of my interests.
My ambitions are rooted in costume design, which has been fully reinforced by my degree course. Over the years I have accomplished an eclectic range of skills that include character drawing, life drawing, pattern cutting, wig making and millinery. I have a strong aspiration to work within the fields of live performance and film, particularly designing for world tours and music videos. I have been seduced by this fast paced creative lifestyle involved in this line of work.
Additional skills:
Character Drawing, Pattern Cutting, Garment Construction, Millinery, Wig Making.
