Biography

[edit | edit source]

Hawley grew up in Wellington, New Zealand. She attended Samuel Marsden Collegiate School, where she was creating costumes, props and scenery for local and school productions. She enrolled at the Wellington School of Design at Wellington Polytechnic, graduating in 1992 with a Diploma in Visual Communication Design.[1] In 1996, she received a scholarship to study at the Motley Theatre Design Course in London.[2][3][4]

Hawley began her career in stage productions, and later moved into film industry.[4] She has taught at Toi Whakaari The New Zealand Drama School.[5]

Hawley's theatre and opera credits as costume or set designer include productions of The Blonde, the Brunette and the Vengeful Redhead for Auckland Theatre Company in 2006;[6] Lucia di Lammermoor for New Zealand Opera in 2007;[7] The Trial of the Cannibal Dog for the New Zealand International Arts Festival in 2008,[8] and Hansel and Gretel for Royal New Zealand Ballet in 2019.[9] In reviewing Lucia di Lammermoor, Pepe Becker wrote:

The all-female leaders of the creative team (director Lindy Hume, assistant director Sara Brodie and production designer Kate Hawley) are to be congratulated for their outstanding and ingenious direction. Venturing away from the traditional sort of production one expects for a Donizetti work proves to be a good move.[10]

In film, Hawley has worked as a crew member for Peter Jackson on The Lovely Bones and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and with Guillermo Del Toro as the costume designer on Pacific Rim (2013), Crimson Peak (2015)[11] and Frankenstein (2025). Her other film credits include creating the costumes for Edge of Tomorrow (2014),[12] Suicide Squad (2016),[13] and Mortal Engines (2018).[14]
