I’m a freelance costume cutter and maker based just outside Sydney, Australia. Over the past 20 years, I’ve worked across every corner of the costume industry—spanning theatre, film, and television. Before that, I spent 15 years in the fashion industry, from 1990 to 2005, building a deep understanding of garment construction and design. Altogether, these three decades have shaped my reputation for excellence, precision, and professionalism in every project I take on.
From 2016 until mid-2025, I founded and managed Sydney Costume Workshop in Leichhardt, NSW. During that time, I brought together a talented team of artisans who created costumes for numerous high-profile theatrical productions. Leading that workshop was one of the most rewarding chapters of my career.
Now, back in freelance mode, I continue to do what I love—cutting and crafting costumes for productions across Australia and abroad. I’m always open to new collaborations and creative challenges that celebrate storytelling through costume.
