  Profile:  Melanie McNeill
 
Linked under Costume Designers/Costumers, Scenic Artists in Canada - Ontario.
I am primarily a costume designer, but I am also a skilled cutter, builder, buyer, prop maker, and scenic artist. I am also very interested in puppetry and special effects, although I have very limited experience in those fields.

Credits: Ringtone (SH), Love Letter from an Open Grave (SH), Finn's Girl (FF).
