Costume and Set Designer

Jessica Johnston is a costume and set designer with a particular interest in film and television productions. Having previously attended the Australian Ballet School and completing a short course in 3D animation, Jessica moved to work within theatre production, which allowed her more collaborative and creative expression.

During her time at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA), she has worked within the Costume and Set departments and has completed her studies by designing set and costume for Amrita Hepi’s work, Here We Have It.

Jessica has also worked as the Costume Assistant on Solace directed by Stepanka Cervinkova, and ongoing work Composure, by Madeleine Chaplain. During her final year at VCA she interned with the art department on the series Love Me, directed by Emma Freeman, where she gained experience in set dressing and construction.
