About

Former Fashion Designer and Stylist turned Costume Designer and Wardrobe Stylist. I have previously worked as a Design Assistant at Alexander McQueen and Stella McCartney and assisted the late infamous Stylist and Tatler Editor Isabella Blow.

Over serval years I have worked my way up to my current role as Assistant Designer (ITV The Towers 2) but I am open to working in various roles pending the right project.

In 2017 I was announced the winner of the Royal Opera House’s Annual Design challenge for Madame Butterfly. Following this in March and April, I was selected by Artist Christopher Klein to work as Costume Designer for his OK the Musical, commissioned by the renowned Tate Gallery Liverpool.

With over 10 years experience in the industry, an insatiable urge to learn and unbridled enthusiasm I would be an asset to assisting you and your team on the day-to-day tasks to facilitate a smooth successful production. No job is too small or big for me to take on and I put in overtime to ensure deadlines are met and the Directors vision is achieved.

The following is a summary of my Skills and Abilities;

Able to work with any budgets large or small and to tight deadlines

Experience sourcing and fitting key looks for principals and background artists

Intermediate to Advanced pattern drafting, sewing, alterations, mending and prop making skills

Strong communication and pleasant manner liaising with cast and production departments

I welcome a chance to discuss my recent work and the opportunity to join a fun, talented team who are supportive and provide a safe working environment.
