Costume design has never been just a career for me; it’s the core language through which I tell stories.
From before I earned my degree in advertising, I understood that what people wear isn’t superficial; it’s a direct line to identity, culture, and narrative. That understanding pulled me from brand strategy into character psychology, from campaigns into costume, and I’ve been designing meaning into looks ever since. My path into this industry may have taken the scenic route, through specialty retail, luxury boutique sales, and fashion retail management. Still, each step sharpened my eye for fit, silhouette, and the emotional weight of clothing. Those early years on sales floors and in fitting rooms taught me how people transform when they’re dressed accordingly, that subtle shift in posture, confidence, and presence that costume must achieve in every scene.
I’ve built my career across an eclectic range of media: indie horror films, national commercials, music videos, scripted comedies, live stage performances, reality television, and genre worlds from Star Wars-style sci-fi to the surreal universe of SpongeBob. I’ve dressed contemporary teenagers navigating coming-of-age narratives, investigators in procedural dramas, and professional dancers whose garments must perform on par with their choreography. I know how to move effortlessly between heightened fantasy and grounded realism because a story lives in both.
I’ve served inside union costume departments, learning discipline, collaboration, and precision. I’ve led as a non-union designer, building worlds from scratch. Whether it’s a commercial set where wardrobe must speak brand fluently, or a scripted series where costume builds character arc, I operate at the crossroad of narrative and nuance.
At this stage, I’m looking for projects and I’m looking to build long-lasting creative relationships with producers and production companies who value trust, clarity, and collaboration. I understand the rhythms of a set, the stakes of client-facing work, and the quiet power of a department that delivers seamlessly.
Every fitting, every alteration, every choice I make comes back to one central belief: clothing is narrative. And I’m here to be a storyteller you can rely on—now, and for many productions to come.
