About me

I love costumes! When I am watching any television or films that is what I am paying the most attention to. The sign of a good costume stylist is their ability to bring out the directors vision. It is about understanding the character and expressing who they are. Knowing what that character would wear in each moment, how they want to present themselves. Or its about expressing the situation that the character has found themselves in. I’m really hard working, really creative and really good at taking direction. I am fully qualified to do this role, I can be exactly what you need and I will always do it with a smile. I make everyone comfortable on set while getting the job done to an outstanding quality. I am motivated, passionate and am excited to do everything to make sure that the director's visions are met.
