About

• Head of costume department for award winning short film in WISFF ‘ The Intergalactic pawnshop form out there’ where I designed, created, embroidered and made a number of the props. • Fashion and costume professional and designer with experience in film, theater, and studios and further studies in fashion management • Experienced set and props designer and stage managing • Knowledgeable of pattern making, design, embroidery, collection development, prop making and costume making. Skilled in draping, CAD drawings, and tech packs. • Had my first head of costume and wardrobe work while second year of university and traveled with the production crew to Wales for the shooting.

Having the amazing opportunity to work as a freelance costume designer and making some of the props for this short sci-fi film which was part of the challenge 48h Sci-fi which then got awarded at the WIFFF festival The objective of the challenge is to produce, shoot and edit a short sci-fi film in 48h. That proved quite a challenge as i needed to make all three of the costumes in 2 days but very rewarding nonetheless and i would love to experience something like this again. For the costumes i used a mix of materials and techniques such as thermoplastics, hand embroidery, painting and repurposing second hand clothing as well as sourcing all the trims and clothes.
