I am a freelance costumier with extensive experience working in a wide range of theatre wardrobe departments.  I have been involved at all stages of the process; from discussions over the initial designs, through cutting, making, altering, adapting and fitting the costumes, to their maintenance and dressing the shows.

Have a look at the Gallery, where you will see that I have the experience to cut and make a wide variety of different designs, including stylised costumes, ladies and gentlemen’s period and modern day costumes.

After graduating with an honours degree in Costume for the Screen and Stage from the Arts University College at Bournemouth, I specialised in costume interpretation, gaining my initial experience in women’s period and modern dress.

I broadened my skills through jobs in flagship theatres (tailoring at Glyndebourne and women’s costume at the RSC) and built up a sound knowledge of period and modern costume cut and construction.

I work with many designers (such as Linda Haysman, Kimie Nakano, Patrick Connellan, Deirdre Clancy, Adrian Rees, Kit Surrey), directors, actors and technical staff through production meetings and fittings.  I am enthusiastic, flexible, reliable and tactful.

My workroom is centrally located to cover the North London, Herts/Beds/Bucks area and is just a half hour train journey from London Euston.  I am happy to travel for meetings and fittings.
