Education

About me

BA(Hons) Costume with Performance Design graduate from the Arts University Bournemouth (2016).

I am an efficient touring wardrobe mistress with a meticulous eye for detail - I have spent the best part of the last 3 years touring the UK and Europe with large scale musical shows.

I have strong hand/machine sewing skills, good IT knowledge. My past experience means I’m proficient with costume maintenance, laundry calls, beading, breaking down, plot creation, working with local dressers - as well as timely get in/out procedures. My work is thorough and organised.

My calm, amicable personality makes me a great team player, thriving under the pressure of large scale shows. I work hard with a positive - ‘can-do’ attitude.

My other hobbies and interests include watercolour painting and growing vegetables.
