Available to hire
Hi, I’m Heather Edis Smith, a costume, wardrobe and textile designer with hands-on experience in video production and social media creation. I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments across theatre, community workshops, and creative studios, and I love turning briefs into visually compelling, detail-driven work.
I’m passionate about applying technical and creative skills in film, video, and production contexts, and I’m excited to contribute to high-quality projects. I enjoy collaborating with teams, interpreting briefs, and embracing new tech and methods to deliver strong results.
