I am very creative and well- versed in different garments types and styles. I am talented at sketching and I see creating clothes as an art form. I aim to collaborate closely with a multi-disciplinary team to create the best visual.

Highly effective at developing complete production styles, including clothes, hair and makeup looks. Exceptional seamstress and creative pattern designer.

Recently, I was featured in GetNoticed Magazine UK for my work with sustainability clothing while keep all my designs flamboyant.

During 2021/2022 I was a costume maker for Relish theater and I was able to execute ideas using second hand fabrics and draped in the actors in one session. In addition I created a made to measure costumes for 9 actors during the 5 months. I was invited to be tailor in the 2021 for Very back to school children uniform and in 8 hours I successfully altered 15 uniforms.

I was part of the TateExchange 1st programe in 2017 at the Tate Modern in London were I worked for 3 days and showcased my garments made from second hand clothes and curtains.

I took part in a college project for the performing arts group where I was assigned to make costumes based on the American show ‘Maze Runner” for two performers using second hand pleather bags and donated fabrics and in a week time I was able to successfully achieve two full looks for the actors in time for the show.

I worked as an intern for Prangsta Costumiers and I hand bead a client’s costume in 2 days.

In 2016 I was able to design a dress and sew it for a wedding, while enrolled at City and Islington in London studying arts and design.
