Hello, I am a freelance Costume Maker based in North Essex.
My passion lies within historical, tailoring, prop costume making and all things sparkly. I especially enjoy the details required to finish a costume to a high standard. I’m detail driven and always looking to improve and challenge myself both technically and creatively.
I enjoy bringing characters to life through hand finishing and technical engineering. I am hardworking, passionate and willing to learn and adapt in a fast-paced environment. I currently have experience as a Costume Maker, Wardrobe Assistant and Dresser. I am always looking to broaden my skill set.
I’m now taking commissions. Please let me know if you have any questions and feel free to contact me.
I look forward to working with you soon!
