I am a dedicated costume designer with a keen interest in historical costume. I bring a thoughtful and research-driven approach to visual storytelling. My work reflects a deep understanding of character, narrative, and period accuracy, developed through both academic study and costume construction. Working on set as a breakdown artist has given me valuable experience in the ageing and distressing processes that add authenticity to costume design. I’m passionate about using costume to support storytelling, deepen character development, and bring each story to life through thoughtful, purposeful design. My major is based on Mary Rose by J.M. Barrie. Mary Rose has a supernatural connection to a small island in the Outer Hebrides. At age 10, she disappears for 20 days and returns with no memory of her absence. Years later, now married and a mother, she revisits the island and vanishes again—this time for 13 years. As time passes everyone has mourned the loss of Mary Rose; until she unexpectedly reappears on the island’s shores, unaware that she even left at all. Written after WWI, the play is seen as Barrie’s reflection on loss and grief. Though relatively unknown it captured Alfred Hitchcock's attention who wanted to adapt it into a film. Hollywood executives explicitly forbade him. However, a screenplay was written. Elements of both the script and play inspired my designs as well as the symbolism that is woven through the story.
