At Marlsten TAFE studying Fashion Design, Anita learned the process of clothing design and manufacture as well as costume history, fashion sketching, pattern making, colour theory and textile design. Anita’s career in television started at Channel 9 – Adelaide, working on Here’s Humphrey as well as several other children’s television productions in the capacity of producers assistant, researcher. At this time, Anita also set up and the costume department of Channel Nine (Adelaide). A continuity course with the Australian Film and Television School launched a career in film and advertising, starting as an edge numberer for a feature film then progressing to standby wardrobe on Rolf De Heers’ “Incident at Ravens Gate”.
