About
Hello, I usually work as HOD of Wardrobe in touring theatre productions. I have worked in television before for a short time and appreciated the attention to detail and care taken within the Costume Department. As I am Glasgow based, it is so exciting to see how many television and film opportunities there are all around me. I am prompt, love working with new people, hungry to learn and have a great eye for details.
