Violetta's opera gown was my personal project as part of my final degree. Â It's design was inspired by gowns from various productions of La Traviata worldwide. Working to a tight deadline, I designed and constructed this gown using a wide range of fabrics and techniques, including flat pattern drafting and draping. The underpinnings are all historically accurate.

Personal Statement
‘I recommend her without hesitation. She has a deep and broad knowledge within the history of dress but also within the social history of our peoples.’
Wayne Martin, senior lecturer, AUB
I am a highly creative, self-motivated, versatile, multi-disciplined individual who is always looking to expand and develop my skills further. I am organised, professional and always conscientious of others while being able to work to tight deadlines, prioritise work, multi-task and work under pressure. I have experience in pattern drafting, cutting and draping, costume construction, breaking down and sourcing. In addition I have experience at working as part of a team, project management and budgeting. I am also extremely confident using industrial and domestic; sewing machines, overlockers and irons.
I approach each challenge with enthusiasm, desire to learn, and a positive attitude. It is this, combined with my strong skill set and experience, that I think would make me a valuable addition to any company. Be sure to browse through the photos of my past projects and find my CV, so that you get a better idea of what I have to offer.
