About me
I am a costume designer and maker based in South East London. I am still developing my personal style, but I love small details and costumes with a story behind the design. I am particularly skilled in dress making, but I can sew to a high standard with any garment.
I need to build my portfolio so I would love to do any freelance, unpaid work.

Projects
- A modern take on 1920's BerlinA modern interpretation of 1920s Berlin. Inspired by Cabaret, LGBT expressionism, and women’s beauty trends, I designed and made this under-bust corset and feather ‘skort’. Each feather was hand made and individually hand sewn onto the shorts base. The corset is inspired by the 'symington side lacer' bralette of the 1920s. Makeup done by me.

This was a short work experience placement where I learnt various sewing skills.
Working for 2 weeks at Prangsta Costumiers was my first experience working both with costumes and in a professional workshop. Here, I fell in love with the art if costume and learnt transferable sewing and making skills that I have since used in other projects.
