Crew:
I am a Costume and Set Designer for Theatre and Film. Graduated from BA (hons) Performance Design and Practice at UAL, Central Saint Martins, and currently based in London, UK. My passion for performance ranges over the costume design and construction, creation of the character and space, set design.

I find inspiration in various corners embracing fairytales and dream stories as well as little odd things of everyday life. Earthy and fabled together can be simply miraculous! Illustration and colours is another passion of mine which I usually incorporate within my performance design.
