Rachel Williams
I'm a clothing and tactile and textile creative person, inspired by stories in life expression, color, nature, movement and cultural change. I have over 15 years experience in the fashion industry and skills ranging from assistant shop and management roles to production and freelance design. I recently returned from Tokyo where I was co-creating my own clothing design with a Japanese pattern maker. This opportunity confirmed my area of interest and expertise within fashion, and I now seek a costume design and waredrobe assistance position within the theatre, film or TV industries.
I have a genuine diligent nature and I'm full of enthusiasm for the creative process in all stages. I'am as felxiable in team environment and as i am working independantly and thrive amungst liked minded people, with a similar sense for strong work ethics. I take pride in my excellence in attention to detail, and have an imaginative edge to all creative problems encountered. I manage pressure with chram and finesse.
