About me
I will be graduating this July from the University of Huddersfield, with a BA Hons (1st), in Costume with Textiles. This has been a full time, four-year course, which included a year out working in industry. The course consists of 3 modules; costume design, costume construction and textile print and dye. I am an inventive and highly motivated costume design student, specialising in printed textiles. Within my placement year, I experienced working at several establishments: The Royal Shakespeare Company, the BBC, Opera Australia, Royal Opera House, Scottish Opera and more; each gave me valuable knowledge, and developed my skills in costume. I believe costume is essential to the authenticity of a drama, to bring the characters to life and in order for an audience to be immersed completely into the story’s world. I am a creative thinker Looking for a opportunity to enhance and learn new skills within the costume industry.Additional skills:
• Costume design and Illustration
• Styling, buying and pulling costumes
• Costume construction and confident with industrial machines
• Print and dye practice, screen printing, mono printing, shibori, and devore printing
