Costume design has become a new medium of expression in my creative practice — a space where I keep pushing my boundaries, testing my creativity in unfamiliar territory, and throwing myself into the unknown.

Working with @rambertdance #ThisIsRambert as Director of Costume Design creating costumes for ‘Gallery of Consequence’ over the past year and half was a transformative experience. It sharpened my eye and helped me develop a new visual language. Working with dancers pushed me to communicate through clothing on a different level — like actors, they portray character through movement, and that brought a new dynamic to how I selected and designed each costume.

The ultimate achievement is seeing costumes I designed featured in a show premiering @sadlers_wells — one of the true pinnacles of my career, a genuine pinch-me moment, something my 10-year-old self could never have imagined.

A big thank you to @benoitswanpouffer for taking the chance and believing in my vision. To @emmaevelein , for your exceptional talent, choreography, and visual direction. To @kpricecostumes Head of Costume, for your constant support in making this come to fruition. And to the whole Rambert team — one of the most visionary companies I’ve had the pleasure to work with.
