# About me
I have a love of adornment, especially adornment of the self, and a love of the old, especially historical clothing. My passion is for costume. I have a Bachelor of Dramatic Art - Costume, and am about to commence a Master of History while working from my studio. A lot of my work has been for theatre & fashion, but I've done some film & TV also. My love of costume comes from the time I spent as a teenager working part time at Weta Workshop on the Lord of the Rings films in the armoury, where I learned a lot of basic leatherworking techniques and other costume skills. I am occasionally available for commissioned work, drop me a line if you'd like to talk costume.# Comments

I am in my first year of a costume course in the UK. I am hoping to be a designer and your work as given me a lot of inspiration.
Ps, absolutely love your 1885 red silk bustle, it is gorgeous. I love the Victorians.

Thanks, I'm really flattered. Keep it up, studying costume is excellent! I studied at NIDA here in Australia and I'm doing costume design at AFTRS now.

Thanks! I don't really have any specific design work that's been on stage in a traditional theatre capacity - most of my design work has been for TV commercials. Most of my stage-used work has been undertaken in the role of cutter/seamstress, and as a costume supervisor (twice), so there aren't really any categories in the gallery my work fits into. My Baron Harkonnen costume was designed with the idea that it would be used onstage, but only appeared onstage while I did a lecture about the costume creation process to a theatre of people as my final degree piece.
Thanks for the compliments though - very much appreciated!
