About me
I’m a passionate and experienced costume designer and maker originally from Basel in Switzerland, now based in the UK.I trained as a dressmaker with an addition in costume, and then went on to get a MA in couture Dressmaking and Fashion Design in Zurich and a further MA in Scenography at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London.
After working as a high end dressmaker, designer and fashion teacher for several years, gaining valuable and diverse knowledge and skills, I went on to work in theatre.
My experience working in theatre in Switzerland I acquired working as a costume maker and assistant designer at Theater Basel for four years, the city’s premier location for local and international theatre, opera, and contemporary ballet performances,
Also during that time I was working as a freelance designer and costume maker for the Gay Beggars Theatre company at Basel University.
Alongside my employed work I have always strived to find interesting and challenging projects to learn and grow in what I am doing. I have designed and made a variety of costumes for themed events and performances such as medieval and renaissance fairs in Switzerland and parts of Germany, different 20th century costumes, fairy-tale and fantasy costumes and costumes for the famous Basel Carnival.
I have also organised fashion shows and themed events and i have worked as costume supervisor and workroom coordinator in theatre and fashion.
Since coming to the UK I have been working with colleges, smaller theatre companies and Edinburgh Fringe productions.
As a Swiss national, I am multilingual and can speak and read fluently in German, English and sufficient in French.
Additional skills:
Costume Construction, Hat Making and Millinery Work, Hand Stitching and Hand Embroidery, Beading Work, Paper Cutting and Folding Design, Electronic and Lighting Integration with Costume, Body Casting and Prostectic Costume Design, Costume Design and Drawing, Site Specific Designs, Wardrobe Supervising/Coordinating, Working with Children and Young Adults.
