I graduated at Wimbledon College of Arts with 1st Class Honours in 2021 in Costume Design and over the course of my career in the film industry I developed strong design, creative and interpretation skills in addition to a keen eye for fine details, continuity, symbolism and functionality. Over the past two years I have been a Head of Department as a Costume Designer for feature films. This gave me the opportunity to design for names like Famke Janssen and work closely with Directors, Designers, Assistants and Art Departments, endeavouring to be a resourceful team player by helping productions achieve their vision.
Whilst I was working on set I was asked to cover the Production Designer for a few days as they got injured and it was really rewarding for me to help creating the scenes and props needed and contributing in setting the mood and atmosphere. Now, I am motivated to start a new path in my career in the film industry, focusing on becoming a helpful team player in the Art Department, either as a Set Dresser, Art and Prop Assistant.
