I tend to find my inspiration anywhere from a spool of lace trim to a piece of black leather. Everything from making period attire, felting, weaving and dying, to fantasy fashions using alternate materials such as felt, plastics, mold-able fabrics and substances, chaining, lights; just about anything I can get my hands on. Nothing is too daring to experiment with. Although costuming and special event gowns are my first loves, I enjoy creating all types of garments from the design to the final construction.
 
 
I am currently working for a local theatre company as Head of Wardrobe during production and Wardrobe Mistress backstage during showtime. I'm also the Costume Designer for several of their plays. During prime theatre season, I normally am unable to take on commissions and made to order items, however there still may be pre-made items available throughout the year.
