Profile
As an industry professional, I have been able to hone my design skills, develop advanced costume patterning and construction techniques, focus on fabric manipulation through dyeing and painting processes and have worked for several amazing companies that have high production values and encourage their artists to excel in the field. The collaborative process excites me and I enjoy sharing my knowledge. I have presented workshops and master classes across the country and at international and national events as well as universities. These classes have been designed for both the novice technician and the advanced student. I am embracing the 'new normal' and reworking my workshops and adding video modules to supplement the content to offer additional learning styles. I began teaching as a Faculty Associate/Adjunct Faculty in the fall of 2020 and am looking forward to continuing teaching semester long courses in costume arts.
