About me

I am in my final year at London College Of Fashion studying Costume for Performance. I adore my course and all aspects of the work, am very ambitious about a career in Costume. I already have a good grounding in historical costume, particularly 18th Century and Victorian, and am keen to explore contemporary and fantasy costume, which I have done in my latest project, inspired by Sarah Kane's 4.48 Psychosis. I have very strong visual ideas and my main passion lies in the technical aspects of creating and making the pieces I have designed. I have great attention to detail and like to push myself beyond my experience in mastering new techniques. I am very driven and enjoy working collaboratively as well as independently. I already have some industry experience having worked as an intern for stylist / designer Kate Halfpenny and at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, as well as other small projects where I have worked as an assistant.
