I currently hold a degree in Design for Set and Costume\ Bachelor of Honours for Theatre design completed with 2.1. Aside from this I have also worked on two large scale event companies such as Birmingham Ceremonies for the Commonwealth Games 2022 as a Costume Intern and BBC Studios for this years Eurovision 2023 as a Costume junior/ dresser, completing tasks under high pressures and during small time frames. I also hold buying experience for Theatre and wardrobe dressing experience specializing in quick changes. I have also worked as a scenic artist and maker for both Theatre in education performances and larger budgeted shows. Aside from my theatrical background I have also worked in retail as a designer for kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms working with ergonomic elements and functionality. I would say this has enhanced my knowledge when designing spaces and allowed me to present myself and ideas with comfortability, aside given me the platform to network. Within the last year I have worked as a Visual Merchandiser dressing mannequins and displays based on current themes and trends through practicality elements such as budgets and tailoring to occasion, prop maker and costume dresser. After recently moving to London I most recently finished working as part of production, making & creating for Merlin Entertainments as Props assistant. I would consider my skill set to be extremely diverse and I continue to approach any task presented to me using a broad mindset whilst providing more than one creative narrative in response each time. I would be a complete asset to your team bringing enthusiasm, awareness and energy. I consider myself to be extremely approachable and offer a vast amount of versatility.
