Artist Statement:

I graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with a BA Hons in Performance Costume.

Skills Summary:

o A flair for design

o Strong textile and embroidery skills

o Professional experience in Film/TV/Commercials/Theatre

o Strong research skills

o Buying and sourcing experience

o Experience working with professional, amateur and child actors

I am a conscientious, dedicated professional with experience working on studio and location shoots, as well as in theatre wardrobes. I am experienced in performing both creative and administrative duties and would describe myself as a consistently positive and resourceful individual with strong people skills and an unwavering work ethic.

Costume is such a major component in creating a confident tone, a sense of place and a clear impression of the characters within a story. I have always thought of costume as an essential tool for character development. If the script provides verbal evidence of the characters’ personalities, then the costumes should provide the visual evidence. Whether working alone or in a team of many, I love being part of the process of bringing characters to life.
