About me
Recently graduating with a First Class Degree in Costume and Performance Design specialising in scenography. I am ambitious in all things I do, seeking to get the best out of myself and the task at hand. Alongside theatre and film I have a keen passion for Curation and Exhibition Design. Having experience managing both, this being the costume designer for a live theatre play of Julius Caesar or curating and designing exhibitions in both Bournemouth and London.

Work history
Exhibition Curator and DesignerArts University Bournemouth
- Oxo Tower Wharf, Barge House St, South Bank, London SE1 9PH, UKFreelance
I was responsible for Designing and Curating an Exhibition for Graduating Costume students, This exhibition taking place in two different locations. One being at the University and the other being the London Bargehouse, within the OXO Tower complex. The curation took into account over 95 students and 170 pieces of work , these being Costumes,Sculptures, Photographs and Digital film. So I took my own free time and spent researching into the exhibited work, understanding the stories and feelings behind each one. With the course having won 'The Queens Anniversary Prize' 2017 it was important that the show was designed to be fully engaging and immersive to allow for audiences to see the exquisite details on the artifacts in question. I also had to consider the tight budget, managing what was feasible along with my ambition to make it as captivating as possible. With it being shown at two different locations the methods of display had to be practical to move and quick to assemble. I was head of a large team to ensure each Exhibition was built and delivered to a high standard,being on site every day making sure each member knew their responsibilities but also that morale was high and that they felt part of the process.
