COSTUMES THAT SPEAK
Chicago costume designer since 1996.
I've worked across Chicagoland, in theatres large and small. From Steppenwolf to the small storefronts of the North Side, I focus on creating characters through visual storytelling. My designs have been seen on Broadway and across five continents, but Chicago is my artistic home.
I listen to your audience.
My costume designs work when your audience connects with the characters. My experiences as a costume designer in diverse cities such as New York, Houston, Los Angeles, and Atlanta have given me a honed sense of regional differences in taste and style.
I listen to you.
I relish being part of a team, shaping the vision of the director onto the body of the actor, and helping you bring the playwright's words to life.
