About me

I am an enthusiastic and friendly, hardworking costume producer, fixer, maker, fabricator, organiser, dresser and team member. I am confident with both domestic and industrial sewing machines and overlockers, with over 10 years of sewing experience, including but not limited to: dyeing, painting, breaking down, millinery, and working with both chiffon and Lycra. I have an interest in all amateur and professional productions, touring and long-standing shows, live events as well as theatre and film; and I am willing to travel for my work, whilst being predominantly based in London and Bedfordshire. I graduated from a Costume Production degree at Rose Bruford College in September 2013, having previously worked as Wardrobe Mistress at Broxbourne Civic Hall’s Annual Pantomime, for two years running.
I am currently Head of Wardrobe on Life of Pi at the Wyndham’s Theatre.
