Originally from Brisbane, Raphaela is an emerging costume professional with an interest in costume research, period cutting, construction, dressing and supervision. At fourteen, Raphaela found a fascination with the costume industry, seeing it as a combination of her interests in period dramas, history, sewing and problem solving.
She has since been working steadily towards a career in the arts industry, firstly in her work at Brisbane Arts Theatre and now by completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Costume) at NIDA. Recently, she gained experience in a workroom whilst on secondment with the Queensland Ballet. Raphaela is eager to gain new experiences in all aspects of costume making and supervising in both theatre and film industries.
