COSTUME CONSTRUCTION
Summary
I have a passion for costume,
love researching all aspects of history and very much enjoy working in this type of creative
environment. I have a firm knowledge of
performing arts and love to get hands on with new and challenging ideas. Although very independent I work well with others and
