Summary

I am a passionate and skilled Costume designer adept at creating brief-hitting and artistic designs. I also favour physical designing over digital, and have a fair amount of experience working behind the scenes in many areas of professional productions. I have a strong ability to think outside the box in both an artistic and more academic sense, and, have noticed, due to my entrepreneurial spirit, I often think of ideas different to others, making me ideal for roles requiring a fresh start/change. I am also able to tailor my services to others' needs, making positions like tutoring a great fit for my skill set.
