I am a New York City based costume designer and multidisciplinary theatre artist. I have designed many productions across the US, in New York, Indiana, and Arizona. I bring a passion for research and creativity to every show, transforming characters for the stage. I thrive on both period and contemporary costume design, ensuring authenticity and bringing fresh ideas to life in both New Works and Classics.
I have also acted as an Assistant or Associate Designer for many shows in the city, including Broadway and Off-Broadway work with companies such as The Public Theatre, INTAR, and Bedlam; and regionally with American Players Theatre in Wisconsin.
One of my favorite aspects of costume design is delving deep into research and dramaturgy, both for period shows, as well as things which are more out of the box. I also enjoy scholarship and writing, and have acted in dramaturgical roles, as well as presenting posters with the United States Institute for Theatre Technology.
I hold an MFA in Costume Design from Purdue University, as well as a B.F.A. in Theatrical Design with an emphasis in Costume Design from the University of Arizona.
