Costume Designer
As Assistant Costume Designer on Yorgos Lanthimos’ ‘Poor Things’ - nominated for eleven Oscars including Best Costume Design - has been a launchpad for her own design career. With a background in theatre and opera as a set designer and scenic artist, seven years as a maker at Shakespeare’s Globe, and six years at Angels Costumes, she brings a rare blend of creative vision and technical expertise. Her work combines hands-on making skills with a sharp grasp of budgets and production realities. Grounded in character and story, Sophie’s designs bring emotional depth and narrative clarity, with particular strength in period costume. Most recently, Sophie has been appointed Head of Portraits for the upcoming Harry Potter series - further recognition of her distinct talent as a designer.
