About me
I have recently achieved a First Class honours degree in Costume with Performance Design from the Arts University Bournemouth. I have also won the subject award for costume interpretation, which has been the focus of my degree specialism.My primary career focus is to make costume for theatre and screen, which I have had plenty of experience with during my time studying at the Arts University Bournemouth.

Outside of my career focus, I also have a widely eclectic taste in all music genres and play the piano in my spare time. I enjoy crafting projects that involve textile elements such as knitting, weaving and embroidery. I am also highly skilled with computers and have a good knowledge of Microsoft Office applications and social media platforms, therefore I am always contactable and willing to take on a new challenge,

Additional information:
I have also studied Textiles and Fashion, earning an A* at A-level, which has given me a good base knowledge in fabric manipulation and textile techniques. This has enabled me to be a very versatile and creative worker when it comes to interpreting costume designs.
Other A-level studies include Fine Art and Art History, which have all supplemented my research and development skills when approaching a new project.
