​
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 INTAR and Bedlam; and regionally with American Players Theatre in Wisconsin.
In addition to design, I possess strong technical skills in draping, sewing, and garment construction with awards showcasing my expertise.
​
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.
