DISCIPLINE: TEXTILE DESIGN
CAREER AREA OF INTEREST: Considering a Masters degree in Costume Design or Illustration.
BIO: I am confident in my creative identity and take pride in applying it to my work. My work is illustrative in nature, leaning into my love of both alternative fashion and theatrical costume with an emphasis on exaggerated silhouettes aiming to evoke an appearance of an unidentifiable species, especially in my fashion illustration and visualisations. I also possess an excellent attention to detail, showcased.
One of my key strengths is my attention to detail. I am drawn to delicate but extravagant designs, patterns and silhouettes which would translate well onto stage. I am skilled at illustration and my aforementioned affinity for detail assists me in visually expressing my ideas, creating intricate, whimsical designs. For this reason, I have a fascination with theatrical costume as one has the freedom to design and create outlandish, garish pieces with the peace of mind that they are only to be worn within the vignette that they are created for, practicality and ergonomics aside. Expanding on this, I have experience in costume making as I used to be part of a carnival troupe as a teenager and so am well versed at designing and creating sculptural, dynamic pieces with a sense of movement.
