I am a creative, resourceful and enthusiastic costume designer with experience in a variety of genres of TV and film productions as head of department, assistant and maker. I am able to work effectively on any budget and to tight schedules, with excellent research and sourcing skills. My background as a vintage clothing dealer and restorer has given me a thorough knowledge of vintage and period styles and construction techniques, including alteration and repairs. I am experienced in ageing and breaking down costume, liaising with pyrotechnicians, prosthetics and other departments.
I have always had a strong interest in creative practises, and enjoy using my practical skills, learning new techniques and developing an inventive problem solving approach to tasks, most importantly I really love my job!
