About

"I like to think of myself as a Jack-of-all-trades of costume, because there are just so many areas of costume making that interest me. I love being able to turn my hand to almost anything costume-related and I am never afraid of a challenge. I greatly enjoy both the research and making side of costume, which greatly compliment each other. I have experience in many costume disciplines, including corsetry, dancewear making, embellishment, historical dressmaking, millinery and tailoring."
