I specialise in making complex costume operations look effortless, working with world-class companies such as The Royal Opera and Ballet and the Royal Shakespeare Company. I’ve led teams managing thousands of costumes, caring for hundreds of performers and keeping shows running flawlessly with calm precision. Quick changes, blood effects, last minute repairs, rain, food fights, you name it, I’ve handled it.

My work spans major budgets, international tours, and collaborations with co-producers across the globe. Whether it’s streamlining costume operations for large-scale productions or solving problems in the moment, I create dressing room and backstage environments where everyone feels supported and productions run flawlessly.
