Hi, I'm Jolie! Nice to meet you!
I'm a fashion, costume and set designer from sunny Brisbane, Australia - currently based in London, UK.
Having grown up in South East Queensland, I have an unwavering love and deep concern for our environment. I aim to keep sustainability at the heart of everything I do.
I am passionate about skill-sharing and teaching others how they can change their habits in order to create a healthier and more ethical fashion future.

- UN-PERFECT for FrockPaperScissorsCreative direction, casting and styling for Frock Paper Scissors magazine. I also wrote an accompanying article about radical body positivity and the importance of un-doing society's expectations of "palatable body positivity" which you can read on my website: www.joliechatfield.com
- Feel The Way I Do - The Jungle Giants (music video)After being asked to work as costume designer on this music clip, I was stoked to receive a brief that required me to create "the crappiest astronaut you've ever seen" as well as "a packing box and shag carpet, come to life". The shag carpet costume ended up requiring 9 kilometres of wool, cut to length and stitched to a cotton base I created.
- Bring It All Back - Leanne Tennant (music video)Director Jennifer Embleton enlisted my help as Production Designer on this music video for UK/Australian musician Leanne Tennant. Working to a tight budget of AUD$100 for all sets, I was able to create 3 scenes entirely from found, borrowed, and thrifted items.

Since 2015 I have worked as a costume designer, set designer and art director on music videos and short films. This has truly taught me the value of open communication, creative problem solving and negotiation while working within tight budgets and time frames. When hired as a costume or production designer, I have often undertaken additional roles where needed such as location scouting, casting, unit, make up, runner, etc. If you would like to see examples of my costume and production design work, please head to www.joliechatfield.com
