I started my role as Assistant Workroom Supervisor in December 2024 after working as a Theatrical Costume Cutter for the previous 6 months. Working closely with the designer to source specific fabrics and trims, I have developed a strong understanding of fabrics and suppliers.

A large part of the success of my role depends on forward planning. I work hard to ensure that every aspect of the costume design, from fabric to finishings, has been considered ahead of time to allow for ordering of garment-specific haberdashery and sampling of new techniques. This creates a smooth process from start to finish. I am responsible for ensuring haberdashery stock levels are maintained at an optimal level, to avoid unexpected shortages and prevent delays in projects, as well as cleaning shared machinery in the studio. 

Keeping project documentation up-to-date and taking up-close photos of finished garments is an important part of the job, particularly for shows that are long-running and require remakes for cast changes. This helps ensure consistency within the our costumes.
