Short Bio
I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California,
where I was introduced to the film business through family ties.
Over the years I have "worn many hats" in and around the set of many films and television productions, but I was most drawn to Costume Design / Production Design.
With a degree in illustration, I have the ability to create detailed concept sketches, set design and art. A sharp eye for colour and character style is to my advantage in working with the Director and Production Designer to make effective use of colour, contrast and form in any format. Quick and comprehensive script breakdown and wardrobe continuity come naturally to me.
I have recently relocated (January 2005) to the hinterland of the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia and will be pursuing work in this area
Other qualifications and notes :
I have been a lecturer at Flinders University Adelaide
in the Screen Studies department in 2003 and 2004
