Directed by Chris Newberry and set in the summer of 1989, Eternal Summer follows two girls as they navigate the end of childhood and prepare to start secondary school. As Costume Designer, I was responsible for the full costume process, from research and sourcing to styling, fittings and on-set continuity, creating character-led looks that captured the period, their personalities and the nostalgic feel of the film.

Wrong Size for Wonderland was my final university project, inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and exploring themes of scale, identity and transformation. I designed and constructed a collection of Alice-inspired costumes, using exaggerated proportions and layered silhouettes to reflect Alice’s changing size. The project combined historical and visual research with hands-on costume making, including pattern cutting, corsetry, tailoring, textile experimentation, hand sewing and garment construction.

For NEAM TV, I worked as a freelance Stylist and Costume Buyer across a range of shoots. My role involved sourcing and purchasing costumes, managing returns, preparing looks, dressing contributors and maintaining continuity throughout filming. I also supported the wider production team on set, adapting quickly to changes and helping ensure each look worked both creatively and practically on camera.

At the National Theatre, I worked within the Women’s Costume Making Team, gaining hands-on experience in a professional theatre workroom. I assisted with fittings, alterations, hand sewing and costume preparation, as well as helping with breakdown and wardrobe support. The experience gave me a strong understanding of the pace, precision and teamwork involved in producing costumes for large-scale theatre productions.

I started Club Kids with a design I loved — and absolutely no idea how I was going to make it! That quickly became the best part of the project. It pushed me to experiment, problem-solve and really develop my tailoring skills, from pattern cutting and fitting to building the final silhouette. I loved seeing something that initially felt a bit impossible slowly come together, and it gave me so much more confidence in both tailoring and trusting my own ideas.

The Compliance was a collaborative superhero project set in a Marvel-inspired universe, reimagining Storm, Monica Rambeau and a female Luke Cage through Black culture, femininity and contemporary social issues. I designed and made the costume for Storm, including a corset constructed entirely from beads, elastic and chain to represent armour. I also experimented with pleating and draping, drawing inspiration from Maasai dress and the character's cultural background. I loved how this project pushed me to combine research, character design and some really unusual construction techniques.

Tear gave me the chance to take on the full costume design process, from developing the initial concept and sourcing pieces through to fittings, breakdown and dressing on set. I really enjoyed thinking about how each costume could support the character and story, while also gaining more confidence in continuity and making sure actors were ready for filming.
