From a childhood spent in the dressing up box,  playing with tins of buttons and jewellery boxes to running a Fancy Dress Hire Shop, costume has always been my passion. Following a Post Graduate course in design for performance at The Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, I worked in theatre, toured with bands as wardrobe mistress and worked in television as an assistant, supervisor and designer.

Now ​as an established, BAFTA Cymru Award-winning costume designer, I love taking on new projects and broadening my experience across a breadth of genres - contemporary & period drama, children's television, comedy and short film. Stylish and resourceful with a flair for colour and character, my approach is always collaborative - working alongside other creative departments to create a coherent aesthetic.

I am a member of BAFTA Cymru, and past jury member of BAFTA, BAFTA Cymru and Watersprite Film Festival Awards, an active member of Women In Film & TV and was selected as a mentee on the Four Nations Mentoring Scheme in 2024.

I’m based in Wales and available to work locally and nationally.                                                                                           Represented by Melissa Hill at Sara Putt Associates for all work enquiries -  info@saraputt.co.uk

  • Lindsay always finds the extraordinary in the ordinary. Her feel for the story and its characters is so sensitive and creative. Her work is always surprising without trying to draw attention to itself. She always gives you exactly what is needed but often in the most unexpected of ways. She is a delight to work with, totally collaborative and very quick! A director’s dream. I feel very fortunate to have had the chance to work with her on my directing debut.

  • I have worked with Lindsay on various productions over the last 20 years and as well as being a fantastic Costume Designer, she’s one of the nicest people in the industry.  I’ve worked alongside Lindsay on many programmes such as Doctor Who, Baker Boys, Antigone, Consent, The Left Behind and Life & Death in the Warehouse.  The latter two films certainly wouldn’t have been BAFTA/Emmy nominated without the help of our brilliant Costume Designer.

  • I've worked with Lindsay on a number of productions over many years.

    While she’s always in tune with the creative vision and has a wonderfully practical can-do approach, I love that she also offers up the surprising and original.

    Creative, collaborative and with endless patience, she is a dream to work with.

  • I have a loose, documentary-influenced shooting and editing style, which means that I'm liable to move scenes around in the edit. For most costume designers this is a plane crash - outfits appearing out of sequence or more than once or even changing within scenes.

    For ‘The Left Behind’, having outlined the challenge to Lindsay, she was able to come up with a masterful solution. She decided to layer our central character’s costume so that he could take off / put back on hoodies, sweatshirts and jackets whenever the scene called for it . . .t hese layers were the same in all scenes, his costume never looked out of sequence or ‘samey.' A genius solution which I intend to go on using for every film!

  • As the Costume Designer on The Way, Lindsay was given a huge task to which she rose brilliantly.  The series had a large cast of disparate individuals - including our central Port Talbot family, steelworkers, police, culture war groups, politicians, fantastical and mythic characters.  Lindsay found the distinct and the truthful in all of them in her designs, consistently being innovative and imaginative, while working closely with the other HoDs and design elements in the show to bring a creative unity.  She ran a skilled team who tackled the practical challenges of the shoot with gusto, and managed a modest budget to over-deliver on what was possible.  A big part of the success of the overall look and feel of the piece was costume, and this was all down to Lindsay and her brilliant work.
