Designs, sketches, and some paintings I have created over the years. I generally like to use a combination of coloured pencils and markers for my designs, but I have been experimenting more with watercolour to better communicate different kinds of fabrics and textures. I am planning to start exploring digital art further to broaden my options.

14th Century Macbeth Costume Design

November 2023

Watercolour, ink pen

My concept for these designs was centred around the themes of fate in Macbeth, as related to the inevitability of decay and natural processes. I wanted to explore how humanity’s battles lead to its own destruction, and show how the more the characters are consumed by fate, the more they get taken over by nature.

1980s Macbeth Costume Design

November 2023

Watercolour, 1980s magazine cutouts, ink pen

Set in the 80s at a golf club, I wanted to place the themes of ambition in Macbeth into the context of wealthy businessmen fighting over the rightful ownership of a country club.

1970s Punk Sweeney Todd Costume Design

April 2023

Marker, coloured pencil, ink pen

For this design exercise, I set the two leads of the musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street in the 1970s punk scene. I felt this style suited both characters' lower societal status in the story, and especially reflected Sweeney's disillusionment and anger at the world.

Battle of Borodino Military Sketches

December 2022

Marker, coloured pencil, ink pen

This project tested my historical research skills, as I needed to source every detail that comprised two opposing sides' uniforms in the Napolenic Wars.

1490s The Tempest Costume Design

October 2022

Marker, coloured pencil, ink pen

With this project, I explored connecting historical designs with design concepts and character considerations. Since The Tempest takes place on an island, I used a lot of nature motifs, and took advantage of the era's poofy and flowy silhouettes.

Sage's Transformation

May 2020

Marker, ink pen, white gel pen

A piece inspired by a scene from a friend of mine's play, Ashes in Autumn, where the character Sage gets possessed in an enchanted forest.

Girl in a Winter Forest

December 2019

Marker, coloured pencil, ink pen, white gel pen

A small scene of a girl in a historically inspired winter outfit. I'd love to build this someday.
