My passion for costume developed out of a youthful love for dressing up in beautiful clothes. I always loved the thrill of being part of a team creating productions and I have always enjoyed haute couture fashion so combining the two gave me with costume. This course has allowed me to grow that passion and develop skills in both design and in construction in order to create unique and fun costumes. In my final year I experimented with designing and constructing a costume for a live music event as well as a fantasy brushed 1920s Greek myth stage adaption. Both of these projects were exciting and are areas I am keen to explore more. During my time at university I have learnt so much about costume as well as having opportunities of working with others and developing strong connections. I would love to take all these experiences forward and continue working with a team to construct costumes, allowing me to continue learning from others and to grow as a member of the costume community.
