UK based Costumier, experienced in Standby, Personal Dressing, Dressmaking, and Alterations. Good knowledge of historical, contemporary costume; excellent attention to detail, including precise continuity. Highly ambitious, organized, efficient, extremely professional with a warm, positive character. Excellent time management skills when working independently, as well as part of a team.
Five years experience in the industry after graduating at Rose Bruford with a BA Hons in Costume Production. Theatre was the basis, whereby dressing, assisting and workroom skills were obtained. An increase in personal clients for tailoring and alteration project's, had fabricated RiRi's Costumes.
Thereafter film and television had become of huge interest; progressing my way up from Trainee level on soap dramas, through to Principal Standby and Personal Dressing on films and TV sequels.

This re-telling goes beyond the “happily ever after” as familiar characters find themselves in unfamiliar circumstances and hopes and dreams are revisited.
