Artist Statement
My approach to hair design begins with character and story. Every detail—from silhouette and texture to colour, period and movement—should feel authentic to the world being created on screen.
As a Head of Department and Hair Designer, I combine creative direction with technical expertise and close collaboration with directors, actors, costume and makeup departments. Whether designing contemporary characters, historical looks or large ensemble casts, my goal is to create hair that supports the performance while becoming an integral part of the visual storytelling.
After more than three decades in film and television, I remain inspired by transformation, collaboration and the opportunity to create memorable characters through hair.
