"In June 2019, I graduated from Arts University Bournemouth, where I specialized in Make-up for Media and Performance.

 

Throughout my three years of study, I developed a wide range of skills and gained extensive knowledge of various aspects of the make-up industry, with a particular passion for working with wigs and postiche. I served as Head of Department for productions like The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe at The Lighthouse in Poole and Mary Shelley at The Shelley Theatre in Boscombe during my final year. In these roles, I was responsible for designing hair and make-up, creating wigs and postiche pieces, and leading a team of assistant make-up artists in collaboration with acting and costume students.

 

After graduation, I completed an internship with AmiWigs Ltd in Chertsey and volunteered as an outworker for Little Lady Locks and The Little Princess Trust, two charities I remain actively involved with.

 

My professional experience also includes working with The English National Opera, AmiWigs Ltd, Raoul Wigmakers, Samuel James Wigmakers, Ray Mar, and The Hair Confidante. I am currently available to take on clients needing wigs and hairpieces as well as wig maintenance and repairs in Bournemouth and the surrounding areas."
