I am a Melbourne-based costume designer with a passion for period costume and the theatrical. I trained as a maker and textile artist, so I have an in-depth understanding of garment construction and textile manipulation techniques.

My maker’s background has given me a real appreciation for the possibilities of costume, and it helps me to work closely with wardrobe artisans and technicians to turn the ideas into reality. I am a very hands-on designer.

I like to be present in the workroom because so many great design decisions come about organically from the collaboration between designer and craftspeople; we bring out the best in each other. I believe the magic is in the details and that projects of any size can be successfully managed with good organisation.
