Who I am & What I do

I am a Third Culture Kid, an American who lived in 6 other countries before I turned 15. Living in that variety of cultures I saw a full array of history, ethnicity, and art: Bedouins with indigo tattoos, Moroccan women with henna hands and Thai monks in saffron robes. I learned style in Paris and Beirut; folklore and clothing history in Madrid; textiles and dye in Khenifra and Teheran; and construction and tailoring in Bangkok.

​

In 2004 I turned to my passion for costuming and have since designed more than 80 professional mainstage productions, from historical events to dance, musical theatre, and opera. My shows have been set from the Middle Ages to a Klingon Warship, and ranged from period-perfect to Steampunk and a recycled fantasy.

​

I bring directors' visions to life within deadlines and on budget, without compromising production quality. My multi-cultural perspective has a distinct impact on my costume designs, expressed in texture, color and detail. Working with a fantastically diverse range of artists and productions has proven my excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Let's create something wonderful!
