Costume Trainee/ Assistant
As a former Master of Art History and English student, and Costume for Stage and Screen student I have acquired a comprehensive and thorough knowledge of the History of Costume and Theatre from the Ancient Greek period to the present day; giving me a strong background knowledge and foundations in costume history to contemporary fashion. This understanding has aided my design interpretation skills, eye for detail, and the practical construction skills needed as a Costumier.
I am young creative who is starting to build up a career in Costume Design, Supervision and in the Wardrobe department. I have experience costuming for plays, musicals and film in Scotland; plus have undergone placements at both the Scottish Opera in Glasgow and the Royal Opera in London.
Companies I’ve worked for on paid short contracts include: ITV, BBC, Shakehaus Productions, Riverman Management, The Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Gilded Balloon and The Cupar Arts Festival.
