About me
I began professionally working in the entertainment field in 2007, when I joined the Providence puppet troupe and creature shop Big Nazo. In 2010, after several years of building puppets and performing with them, working in theatre education, and doing freelance work in film, theatre, and illustration, I enrolled in Purchase College's theatrical design and technology conservatory, where I designed four mainstage shows, assisted on three shows, supervised costume crafts on five shows, and designed two student films. After graduating in 2014, I held a full time position at Arnold S. Levine's costume crafts and millinery studio in the garment district, where I worked primarily on hats and accessories for Broadway, Off-Broadway, cruise lines, and television.My primary drive, however, is film, and I am looking to meet and work with filmmakers, especially those interested in multi-media and genre-based approaches to storytelling.

Additional information:
Skills include: costume design and construction (draping, cutting, stitching) ; costume crafts (millinery, sculpture, painting, distressing, dyeing, beadwork, needlecraft) ; puppet design, construction, and puppeteering. Advanced Photoshop, Adobe Premier, Exel, Microsoft Word.
My experience building crafts for large Broadway shows as well as designing and building low-budget films and theatrical productions, so I have a good understanding of how to make things look great and express character/tone of production at any budget.
