About me
Based in the South of England, I am a costume designer and associate artist of Blackeyed Theatre Company, with 13+ years experience.I have enjoyed a varied career so far, which includes making tour costumes for popular musicians and collaborating with theatre, dance, entertainment and production companies.
I have previously taken on regular wardrobe supervisor roles within theatre and the fashion industry. Examples of my work to date can be found at www.societybelle.co.uk.
Currently I am predominately working as a full-time specialist military tailor.

Contact details available upon request.
Additional information:
My biggest strength is willingness to pull all of my skills into supporting the teams I am working with and bringing everything I can to make the work a success. As such, I have recently undertaken some light media training to gain skills with interviews, as I am often called upon to help promote shows I am involved with on radio, or record project evaluations on film for The Arts Council. I also sometimes help write copy for brochures and marketing materials for shows I am involved with and contribute to education packs. In addition, I am currently working on audience engagement work alongside my costume work, in the hopes of strengthening bonds between my community and the theatre I work at, and understanding our industry inside and out.
