About Me

I am graduating from the Costume Design and Construction degree at Nottingham Trent University.  I am a versatile designer and maker who is willing to give anything a go.  My course, being equal measures making and design, has shown me how much I enjoy experimenting and trying out new things.  I am very resilient when things go wrong, not panicking but instead working to solve the issue at hand with a clear mind.  I am also not afraid of the less glamorous roles and like to get stuck in wherever I can be of most use.  Most of all, I really enjoy designing and making costumes.

 

I have had several work experience opportunities including a placement at the Bridge Theatre, work on several short films, working on children's theatre productions ‘Pythagoras’ Toolkit’ and ‘I Piano’ and working in theatrical costume hire house Surrey Arts Wardrobe.
