About me
Originally from a Polish household Queens, New York, Isabelle currently lives in London working as a buyer in the costume department of the Royal Opera House.With a MFA in Theatrical Design from Brooklyn College and a double BA in Film Studies and Media and Communication from Queens College, she is skilled in set, costume and lighting design.
As a theatre maker, her interest lies in the collaborative process and the ability to deliver relevant stories. Working with both historical and contemporary shows primarily with costumes she loves discovering innovative and interesting ways to relay the story of historical costume to the contemporary eye.
Projects she has been involved in, range scope from a cast of two hundred, at the New York Public Theatre’s Public Works under designer Paul Carey to a small cast of two at Peterborough Players in New Hampshire.
Theatre projects where Isabelle has been the costume designer include; MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, directed by Vik Sivalingam; BELLVILLE, directed by Eric Ort; PICNIC, directed by Richard Hamburger; SWIMMING IN THE SHALLOWS, directed by Keith Paul Medelis; and HOME FREE, directed by Nick Cotz.
Film credits include 2014 Nollywood and African People's Choice Award for Favorite Short Film, J-12, and currently working on KING OF THE BLUE RIDGE by Peter Ellinas and Perri Pierre.
A member of United States Institute Theatre Technology (USITT) and the design wing at the Great Plains Theatre Conference in 2016, currently working at the Royal Opera House as a buyer. Progressing from the buyer role involving sourcing fabrics for most productions of the Royal Opera and Royal Ballet, she is now taking part in fittings, assistant supervising, and occasionally supervising smaller productions. In addition to buying and assistant supervising, her work has included supervising the re-making of Bob Crowley’s Violetta dress from the ROH production of TRAVIATA, for the V&A exhibition Opera: Power, Passion and Politics and is currently assistant designing Fay Fullerton on the NEW RICHARDSON piece for the opening of the Linbury Theatre in 2019.

Theatre professional:
I am an easy going, creative, and amiable individual who loves learning from others and collaborating. I have always been interested in design and have expanded my knowledge from costumes to sets and lights. My main goal is to tell stories via clothing or surroundings and to help the audience feel that they have been transported to a different world. I love finding ways to help the audience understand historical period and also love the blending of historical and modern. As a theatre-maker, I am interested in telling stories that are relevant to our time and that can have an impact on audience members.
Additional skills:
sewing, draping, dyeing, distressing, fabric painting, shopping, choosing fabric, photoshop
collaborating, keeping calm in stressful situations, being able to deal with many different personalities, being able to communicate ideas.
