About

I'm a creative, I'm a collaborator and I'm a dreamer. That's why the choice to pursue a career in filmmaking is much more than a career move for me. I believe it is the only environment I am ever going to feel truly comfortable within.

I know this firsthand. Whenever I've worked on a film set, whether it's a lo-to-no budget independent short film or an expensive advert shoot, I've felt a sense of belonging and purpose that I've not managed to find elsewhere. After all, what could possibly be more fulfilling than working closely with hugely talented individuals to bring dreams into existence?

Like many others, films have enchanted me from a young age. As soon as I realised that it was possible to actually help make them, I set about finding a way into this world. With my long standing affinity for all things fabric-related, becoming a member of the costume department seemed like the most feasible and exciting route in.
