Robyn has costumed for many stage shows in Spectrum Theatre Group Merimbula, as well as supporting many of the local theatre groups and schools, and now runs a costume business from home in Pambula.  The request to join the Life Class team to provide costumes for the movie was very timely as her full time work position had just become redundant, allowing Robyn to work full time on the project which took her and the team to many interesting and lovely locations, meeting so many new people both local and from other areas.  A wonderful journey!
