About me

I am a costume designer and set dresser/designer with experience in theatre, dance, and opera. I have a background in fine art and am experienced at AutoCAD drafting, Photoshop, scale model making, and prop and costume sourcing. I also have experience in practical construction, scenic painting, and sewing/alterations.

I am passionate about visual storytelling and adding depth and subtext through the use of space and costume. I originally studied fine art in the US, with a focus in conceptual and performance art before moving to the UK to take a Masters in theatre design. My passion for exploring concepts and pushing the boundary of what we expect from the space and objects around us is something I apply to my work as a designer. I am interested in the social and psychological impact of the clothes we wear and the spaces we inhabit, and I seek to evoke and amplify that effect in the designs I create in order to add a psychological subtext to the story through the visual elements.
