I am a freelance costume and props maker based in Gloucestershire, UK, skilled in the craft of period and fantasy costume for screen, stage and reenactment. With a background degree in BA Costume Design and Making, I know how to take a design from 2D to reality, whether that be through pattern drafting, tailoring, sculpting, sourcing, even finishing touches such as costume breakdown and SFX make-up. As evident through photos, my work never fails to make visual impact.

​

I have a real knack for working with sculptural materials, leather and thermoplastics, after establishing a work experience placement with costume armour pros, Norton Armouries (Ledbury, Gloucestershire) in 2017. I now seek work in anything from bespoke historical dress to custom armour and props, ideal for those who take part in reenactment or live action role-play.

 

Having worked on several small-scale commissions since graduating, working with local directors and costume makers, I am looking to expand my work further to nearby cities. Central with links to Birmingham, Cardiff, Bristol and 2hrs from London, I am fully mobile with a vehicle of my own, available to be on call for filming, shoots, fittings and meetings. To get in touch or request my CV, please visit my contact page for details.

​

I may be a dreamer; but I make them come to life.
