A jack of all trades, I am a widely experienced collaborator across the theatre and film industry. Always keen to be part of a new team, I am highly motivated, punctual and well organised. I have a broad skill set centred around costume design and construction yet also encompassing prop making and headpieces, set building and painting. Within my own studio practice I explore a fusion of costume, prop and setting, collaborating with photographers and performers to produce a layered and illustrative visual response.
