About My Work
From design to the last stitch, I enjoy working with accuracy and precision to create high-standard costumes. I have a fascination with late Victorian womenswear and a personal interest in using wool cloth and other natural fabrics to reconnect with traditional clothmaking industries and encourage sustainable practice.
