Maariyah Sharjil
I am a performance designer and costume constructor. Across my career i have worked in both film and theatre, giving me the ability to adapt, embrace and find my place in new environments and teams.
I joined Sands Films at seventeen and have been working with them part time for the last five years. My work has been part of many major motion pictures as well as performances across the west end.
My main interest is in the stories of minority communities as well as the journeys and stories of the diaspora. I really enjoy research and often have an expansive reading list that inspires my work. I'm interested in translating the emotions and thoughts of my community into a visual language while also embedding history and culture into my designs. I am particularly interested in exploring history and cultures surrounding textiles.
