Renowned for her creative intelligence, calm leadership, and deep understanding of character through costume, Sarah brings together strong historical research, contemporary design sensibility, and practical on-set execution. She is trusted to lead departments under demanding schedules, manage large wardrobe teams, and deliver cohesive visual storytelling across complex productions.

VALUE TO PRODUCTION
Sarah brings the rare combination of creative vision, extensive production experience and strong department leadership. With more than 20 years across film and television, she understands how to translate character and story into costume while working within the practical realities of budget, schedule, continuity and production requirements.
A particular strength is the breadth of Sarah’s hands-on experience across the costume department. Throughout her career, she has remained flexible, working across Costume Design and Supervision as well as buying, wardrobe, styling, additional costume and on-set support roles. This gives her a practical understanding of the responsibilities, pressures and workflows at every level of the department.
That breadth strengthens Sarah as a Head of Department and leader. She understands what she is asking of her team because she has worked across many of those functions herself. She can anticipate pressure points, communicate effectively across roles and build departments in which responsibilities are clear and people are well supported.
Calm, collaborative and solutions-focused under pressure, Sarah brings both the big-picture creative vision and the practical understanding required to deliver it — protecting the integrity of the design while keeping the costume department organised, responsive and production-ready.
