I am based in Sydney and Brisbane, Australia.  I was trained in costume at Sydney Institute of TAFE, and Opera Australia's workroom.

​

I am a costume maker, principally ladieswear.  I firmly believe in having a strong sewing background.  I fell into theatrical millinery after assisting the milliner at Opera Australia, and becoming an assistant to Rick McGill, but it has turned into a job that I love, and after further forays into thermoplastics and cosprops whilst working in film - if it's a weird shape and you want it on the head, I can make that happen.

​

I have extensive experience as a theatrical dresser and wardrobe maintenance.  I believe it's important to see the costumes we make actually working, to know what works best backstage and for performers.  

I'm reliably competent on set, and in fittings.  I love organising and being organised, due to a decade spent managing a retail chain of 42 stores with over 400 staff.

​

In my spare time, I enjoy classical music and sing with the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, rollerblading slowly and learning new ways to work with fabric at workshops.
