Biography
I’m a versatile, multi-talented individual working predominantly in costume, but with a keen interest and skill for prop fabrication and set decoration.
After completing a degree in London where I specialised in Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins, I began a career styling for editorial shoots. Soon after I chose to return to South Africa to pursue my interest in costume design, manufacture and fabrication in the film industry.
Over the years I’ve worked as a buyer, wardrobe assistant, standby, illustrator and manufacturer, which has forged a solid and unwavering work ethic, an immense joy collaborating with people and developing into a well-rounded, multidisciplinary creative with a strong ability to adapt and follow through on a wide range of briefs and scripts, from vision and concept through to realisation.
I have an in-depth knowledge of fabrics, colour theory and a passion for garment construction as well as the ability to design, fabricate and build props through my love of sculpting and model making. Every job I’ve done has added substantially to my love of film and I complete all projects with an assertive and enthusiastic attitude.
