  About me

  I am a passionate and enthusiastic costumier working in London and Essex. Having trained at Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance, I soon realised that my passion was working in wardrobe. Having been actively involved in theatre for the last 3 years, I am experienced in a range of roles, including supervising, assisting and dressing and am happy and confident in all of these areas.

  I always strive to ensure a performance runs smoothly and to do whatever I can to achieve this. I work excellently both as a part of a team and as an individual and am always willing to help both fellow creatives and cast in any way possible.

  My production experience includes musical theatre, ballet, new writing, children's theatre, fringe and touring.

  Although my main focus is wardrobe, I continue to make, fit and alter costumes and clothing for a range of productions, as well as for private clients. I also have experience with wig dressing, fitting and maintenance, basic make up and ASM duties.
