I am a costume designer and storyboard artist with a passion for creating visually compelling narratives in film, theatre, and animation. I enjoy translating scripts into wardrobe and panel layouts that bring characters to life and support the story. I have collaborated with directors and production designers on concept development and detailed storyboards. In 2021 I founded Dihur Studio to expand our capabilities and work with international collaborators, while continuing to design costumes and storyboards for indie projects and theatre productions.
