About Me
I am a costume designer, technician, and artist currently based in the Baltimore/Washington area. I received my MFA in Costume Design at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and I graduated from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in May 2020 with a BA in Theatre Design and Production.
To me, theatre is a puzzle that has various different answers. As theatre artists, we are given the pieces and must work to arrange them in a way that best serves not only the desires of the design team but also the needs of the show. I believe the solutions to shows exist in the text, and the creativity arises in how a team choses to address and place each puzzle piece. I am attentive to the differing logistics and aesthetics of each show, and I aspire to reach a level of unique specificity while maintaining my own personal voice through the use of vibrant and interesting colors as well as being mindful of silhouette and shape. I strive to create costumes with depth that speak to the story being told in each character, and I find joy in ensuring each piece of clothing plays its part in aiding the larger goals of the show.
Upcoming projects include a devised project, opening at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County Spring 2025.
