I am a multi-disciplinary creative, happy to work across costume, props, art dept and scenic painting. I'm based in Glasgow, and available to start work immediately. I studied Law at university; however, my passion has always been rooted in creativity, costuming, storytelling, and crafting. So I decided to pursue my passion and build a career in film & TV. I’m dedicated, adaptable and continually developing my skills. I've taught myself many skills relevant to these departments within the industry, including sewing, painting and metalworking. I've previously worked as a Scenic Painter for 'Outlander: Blood of my Blood', and in the Art Department of a feature film. For the same production, I also loaned multiple costume pieces I had made, and assisted the costume designer in her studio. During my time at Glasgow University I was head of the DF Scenic Painting Society, and the fashion coordinator for the Charity Fashion Show. During university I also ran my own small business specialising in luxury fashion and costuming, through this endeavour I made bespoke pieces for clients in the UK and overseas, participated in fashion shows, photoshoots and advertising campaigns, won competitions, and been featured in the press.

1. Costume Designer

   HKMdesigner · Jul 2021 - Present

   Since 2021, I have been running my own costume and womenswear business. My custom made designs have sold worldwide for £250 - £700. My business originally specialised in porcelain-effect corsetry, but I later branched out to create a wider range of garments and accessories. One of my most recent looks, entirely patterned and sewn by myself won the Scotand Fashion Week x Dressed to Kilt design award, winning me the opportunity to display my designs in New York during Tartan Week. All my pieces are designed, pattern-drafted, constructed and hand-painted by myself. Running my store has helped me gain valuable communication, customer service and time-management skills. As each piece is custom-made, my business model involves a great deal of client-facing work throughout the bespoke design and manufacture process. Running this business has helped me improve my interpersonal, garment construction, business management, and production process skills.

   Cara Roxburgh · Mar 2025 - Mar 2025

   In March I had the opportunity to assist costume designer Cara Roxburgh in her studio. This shadowing placement came about after I met Cara on the set of ‘Fight Me!’ and lent her some of my high school design projects to costume a scene with 3 young cosplayers. Following this, Cara offered me the opportunity to help create some historical inspired costuming at her studio. This allowed me to experience leatherworking for the first time and pick up many other exciting new skills.

   'Fight Me!' Feature Film · Jan 2025 - Feb 2025

   In January, I completed a work experience as an Art trainee on the set of the feature length film ‘Fight Me!’. In this role I worked alongside the rest of the Art department under Art Director Rhianonne Stone, to create props, dress sets, run petty cash buying errands, and reset scenes for the movie. My handmade bodices and shoes were also borrowed to dress a scene set in a costume designer’s bedroom.

   As part of the DF Painting and Building committee I helped organise and decorate the University Union’s biggest annual social event. In 2023, I was chosen as head painter becoming creative lead on the theme and design concepts. I oversaw budgeting, scheduling and managed a team of 27 painters. Our team successfully completed 25 13ft murals in 3 months. I loved this role and particularly enjoyed working in a large team, having the creative freedom to design a theme from scratch, and collaborating to complete the task under time pressure and within budget.

I also had general duties relating to event organisation, on-campus representation of our charity partner, and fundraising. This helped me develop my communication, organization, IT, trend forecasting and conflict resolution skills. We raised £44,005 for Glasgow & Clyde Rape Crisis. I found it very rewarding to raise money for such an important charity while putting on an event I could be proud of and meeting many new friends and incredible up-and-coming designers. I also exhibited 3 of my own looks in the show; it was incredibly exciting to see a crowd’s reaction to my designs for the first time.
