About
Born and raised in Leicestershire, I am a recent Performance Design and Film Costume graduate from The Arts University Bournemouth. I grew up surrounded by festival fields and developed a love for costume after years of watching stories unfold on stage and a brief dabble in acting.
My work is deeply inspired by the natural world and sustainability is at the heart of all I do.
As a self proclaimed jack of all trades, I relish working across the entire performance sector, whether that be designing historical costumes or dressing a barn ready for a festival.
​
I am passionate about getting stuck in, trying new things and developing my creative practice as I venture out into this wonderful industry.
