Crew:
A graduate of the Costume for the Screen and Stage degree at the The Arts Institute at Bournemouth, I have designed and created costumes for a variety of productions: for both theatre and student films. I have gained a comprehensive theoretical background knowledge of period costume and its history - something which interests me greatly - and hold a personal interest in the late 1960s period, owning a collection of vintage clothing. I also hold a sound knowledge of fabrics and particularly enjoy creating decorative textiles, manipulating fabrics to create interesting textures and visuals.

I have recently worked as Costume Designer and Constructor for the Guildford Shakespeare Company, and regularly work in wardrobe for theatres such as the English National Opera and the New Wimbledon Theatre.
