About me
I undertook a degree in costume production at Rose Bruford, graduating in 2010. We were able to participate in an intensive week of all aspects of postiche work. This was a defining moment in my studies, helping me to realise that working in hair and make-up was my passion.During my studies we focused on costume history, which is where my interest in peoples appearance grew. This background in costume aided me knowledge of historical methods and looks, rather than taking a modernist impression and approach to hair and make-up styling.
Since graduating I have work steadily within the industry. I began my training with Felicite Gillhan, a wigs designer and supervisor. The majority of my training has been learnt on the job, or self-taught, driven by a strong passion to succeed in my career. I have often been thrown in at the deep end and had to learn very quickly, whilst also having to carry out skills with confidence.
The wig room is always a busy and sociable place. I enjoy this and make it one of my priorities to make sure a performer feels at ease and comfortable with me. Making sure I listen to their concerns is essential, often people are not used to seeing themselves in a wig or in a period hair style, and therefore it is important to reassure them whilst also keeping the design to the designer's choice. I also believe in the importance of treating people with mutual respect and creating a friendly working environment, where my staff feel comfortable talking through issues and concerns with me.
I enjoy working independently as it allows me to keep challenging myself and improving my techniques. I am self-motivated and can happily complete work without supervision. However I do very much enjoy working as part of a team, I enjoy teaching other, but also feel my learning is something that will never cease.
Additional skills:
My wig knotting skills have been self-taught, with some guidance from Felicite, and I can now carry this out with enjoyment and confidence. My make up skills have also been learnt on the job, watching and working with experienced wigs and make up supervisor's, I do feel I can improve these skills allowing me to gain more confidence and knowledge.
I enjoy doing my own research in to the jobs and time periods I am working on, and by doing this I am able to pass on vital information to my team.
I can also uses a sewing machine and hand stitch at a very confident level. And have experience in wardrobe related skills, such as laundry, maintenance and dressing.
I have a valid first aid certificate, and standard clean UK driving licence. In addition to this I can also speak a good conversational level of French
