Costume/Wardrobe experience
Motivation:
I'm a creative, energetic, confident, cheerful individual, I work calmly under pressure and I am an excellent
communicator. I have very strong dressmaking skills and I have the stamina to work very long hours whilst
retaining my sense of humour. I've had experience working on film, TV, in theatre and working in the world of
second hand and vintage clothing and fashion.
