ABOUT
I grew up in Oregon, often sketching or searching thrift stores for vintage clothing. Following high school, I left the forested mountains of the Pacific Northwest for the English seaside and an opportunity to study Costume Design at the Arts University Bournemouth.
After receiving a BA Costume Design degree, specialised in film costume design, historical fashion, and costume illustration, I pursued an MA in Animation. Through the degree, I explored costume within animation and game design. In addition to independent studies, I designed and fabricated costumes and provided costume research and consultations to 2D and Stop Motion productions at the university.
I am equally passionate about traditional techniques and new advancements within the costume field and hope to gain experience across a variety of projects. Currently, I am based in the UK and am looking for freelance costume opportunities across industries.
