I am a costume designer and maker with a love for creating in a sustainable way. I love working in a team and seeing my designs come to life. Over the span of these three years, I have gained confidence on film sets, theatre productions, dance performances and photoshoots.

I collaborated with Makeup Artist Sophie Vatore on a project called Self Destruction, for which I created a backpack structure with hands closing in on the body.

I worked several times with local dance company Co-Evo and designed/created the costumes for their autumn showcase. The costumes are based on creatures and fossils, all made by up-cycling existing costumes from the AUB Costume Store.

In second year, we had a group project based on Liam Young’s Planet City. We created History Walkers, who would walk through the city reminding people of the past. It was environmentally focused and created sustainably.

As part of my Final Major Project, I was one of three costume designers for the AUB theatre production, Grimm Tales. We all merged our ideas together and created the headpieces and prop-costumes.

Another part of my major project was the grad film Metalism. For this, I was Costume Designer, assisted by Naomi Davis. The story was set in a dystopian, make-shift world and follows the love story of a couple who are involved in metal-enhanced boxing. The costumes reflected the metallic, makeshift world with their colours, textures, breakdown and DIY elements.

The first image shows the costume for a short film Domina Dolorum. Here, Vashti is transformed into Our Lady of Sorrows during a ritual. I designed all costumes for their film, made this one myself and managed a team to create the rest.

My plan for after my degree is to move to London and find work in the film industry. I am planning to apply to trainee programs like ScreenSkills and Warner Brothers Crew HQ. I also love working on more experimental projects and will look for opportunities in dance, theatre and circus with the hope of one day working with Cirque du Soleil.
