About

Italian Costume Technician, UK resident and world traveller ♥

Expert in tailoring, making and alterations with a passion for dressing and continuity. I feel at ease in a workroom as much as within the hustle of working on set. Lover of curious niche crafts, currently tipping my toes in leatherwork. Extensive experience in Theatre, intrested in joining film crews as a Trainee, Maker or Standby.
