Originally educated in graphic design and visual communication, I worked as a creative director and producer in fashion and publishing before training at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School as a performance designer. As a designer I’ve worked on projects spanning advertising, marketing, fashion, TV, film, theatre and dance.
I work in film and TV as a costume graphic artist and concept designer specialising in print design, surface detailing, digital artworking and illustration. I act as a bridge between the design room and fabrication, helping to facilitate special process work such as digiprint, screen printing, laser cutting, embroidery, jewellery and costume prop design. I am particularly interested in bespoke design work which is tailored to garment patterns, combining multi-layered processes to create new and innovative textile options.
Throughout my creative career I have remained committed to education, outreach and engagement projects. As an educator I am passionate about the creative facilitation of learning, with an emphasis on critical engagement. My focus is in developing cognitive skills that empower students to adapt to the shifting demands of the world at large.
