Biography
Timaru born Enid Eiriksson grew up on a mid-Canterbury sheep farm.
She was in her early 30s when she began working in television. By then Eiriksson had built up a suitably eclectic background to design costumes: three years studying fine arts at Ilam in Christchurch, a year helping make costumes at Auckland's Mercury Theatre, and a stint running her own fancy dress business; plus time in London, where she worked in jewellery workshops after studies in jewellery-making at Sir John Cass School of Art.
“I lived and breathed this job.I loved it – especially the historical dramas.”
