My Background

My Background

My Background

I am a Philadelphia based costume designer interested in working in a wide variety of different mediums. I’m a lover of live art, design, and story. I have a long history with dance and theater, and I’ve always been drawn to performing arts. I graduated from Drexel University in 2025 with a self-designed degree in costume design. My studies and experiences have been interdisciplinary and unique, and those are the kinds of projects that continue to speak to me. I’ve been sewing since I was young, and I aim to use garment construction to tell stories across a multitude of formats.

My Experience

My Background

My Background

Outside of Drexel, I have had the privilege of working with many Philadelphia and Pennsylvania regional theaters on the costume and wardrobe teams, including People’s Light, Theater Horizon, The Arden, Plays and Players, and more. I completed a six month costume design internship with People’s Light that has resulted in continued wardrobe and stitching opportunities there. Outside the world of theater, I design for film, television, photography, and music. I have worked on various short films featuring musicians, professional wrestlers, drag artists, and actors of all varieties.
