About Me
I am a San Francisco Bay Area-based costume designer and fabricator specializing in high-end historical, science fiction, and fantasy costume and prop commissions. My professional experience spans a variety of roles in costume departments for films, theatre, and commercials, including San Francisco ACT and Theatreworks.
My knowledge of traditional sewing skills and leather work, combined with my love for modern fabrication methods and materials like fiber optics, thermoplastics, and machine embroidery allow me to bring a unique vision and fresh perspective to any custom project.
I am always excited to collaborate with diverse teams, experiment with new techniques and materials, and problem-solve interesting challenges.
