I have always been obsessed with story telling, as well as the study of people. Costume Design is exactly that. We put on a costume every day— whether it is a conscious decision or not. It’s part of what we want to tell the world (or not tell them). Human beings have millions of opportunities to tell their stories— characters, however, only have the space and time in which the story allots them. Our job is to tell their story through clothing in the most effective way possible, whether the viewer notices their “costume” or not.
I grew up on the stage- as a dancer and model for over 25 years. I have a deep understanding of the creative process from both sides, and can easily identify and accommodate talents’ needs.
While working in a wide spectrum of media- in film, television, commercial, digital content, music video, stills, and stage, I’ve had the pleasure to dress many notable characters. Celebrity talent includes: James Caan, Mira Sorvino, Dave Bautista, Michael Madsen, Danny Trejo, William Fichtner, Vivica A. Fox, Jason Biggs, Chad Lowe, Vince VanPatten, Eileen Davidson, Dee Wallace, Donna Mills, Dean McDermott, Martin Kove, John O’Hurley, Willie Garson, Mischa Barton, NFL stars Rob Gronkowski and Terrell Owens, and many many more.
Originally from Philadelphia, I am an alumna of Drexel University’s Westphal College of Media Arts & Design, with a B.A. in Fashion Design, and minors in Art History and French
