About me
A love of design and a passion for making things is a vital part of who I am. I am flexible and very hardworking, always taking pride in doing a good job. I have a very high level of organisational skills and time management. I love meeting new people and I quickly fit into new ways of working. I have experience in working with different groups from French costume makers on 'Kynren', the epic open-air show, to adults with learning disabilities at Lawnmowers Independent Theatre Company. Whilst I enjoy working in a team, I also love using my own initiative and bringing my own style to my work.I am currently based in the North-East of England working since graduation in a variety of roles - costume assistant, maker, wardrobe mistress and dresser. I want to continue to broaden my experience in costume and wardrobe, whether it be in theatre, film, events or on cruises.
I have a full UK driving licence and my own car. Whilst I love working in my region I am also very keen to travel or move location.
