“Jema has helped me gain more confidence in myself, my work and my mistakes. Supporting and encouraging me through my journey to be the best I can be, and to appreciate that learning and growth never ends.”
- Hannah ( Historical Maker BBC)
"I first met Jema in 2016, at the time I was considering moving from a career in fashion communication to costume design, but had absolutely no experience in the field. From our very first meeting Jema was able to effectively isolate the strengths in my previous experience and the key areas that needed development, she was extremely open minded, intuitive and supportive.
Jema has devised workshops for the development of my technical skills, provided specialised insight and knowledge relating to large scale costume supervision and management in addition to acting as a consistent mentor over the past three years. Her knowledge and understanding of the industry have been of immense value and she’s always gone above and beyond to help support my career development. No question has ever been too small, or problem too complex for me to work through with Jema’s input. Her holistic understanding continues to be an invaluable resource, and I’ve no doubt we’ll work together for many years to come."

- Emma (Costume Maker for Film)

“Jema changed my life!"
