Experience
After graduating in 2021, In the middle of the pandemic, I began my career as an in-house costume designer at a small independent film company, where I quickly became immersed in the full scope of the costume department. Within a year, I progressed to Lead Costume Designer and Maker, taking creative and practical responsibility for designing, constructing, and managing costumes for three feature films between 2022-2024. This role involved leading the costume department both on and off set, overseeing fittings, sourcing and budgeting, and ensuring continuity and smooth workflow throughout production.
​
In early 2025, I made the decision to move to being a freelancer, allowing me to expand into collaborating with a wider range of artists and productions. I create custom costumes and undertake commission-based projects as a freelance costume designer and maker, with a strong focus on character-driven storytelling. Alongside my commissions, I have experience working across wardrobe departments for film, advertising, concerts, private events and photoshoots.
