I'm a graduate from Plymouth College of Art, who studied BA (Hons) Costume Production and Associated Crafts.
I'm a costume maker and designer with a passion and specialism in textile surfaces. My creative work is unique, reflecting my own individual style. I work with a variety of fabrics and media to create interesting textures and effects. I use my passion of texture and detail in all of my work. I thrive on working with layers, textures and colour combinations, i have an exquisite eye for fine details and finishing effects.
My main focus is costume construction and incorporating textile techniques to create unique and tactile surfaces. I have experience in costume padding, breaking down, mask making, corsetry, dress making and tailoring. I love to dive into new experiences and take hands on learning in my stride. I have mainly worked on costumes for theatre productions- i understand the needs and procedures that are unique to this form of work. Physical performances require a reliable and strong construction on stage.
I thrive on working on a physical piece, this is where my characters come to life! My design elements combined with my pratical skills work hand in hand resulting in eye catching results, as seen in my examples of work.
