A costume designer for film and stage, I am curious about the cross-currents of culture and history and how people present themselves in the spaces in-between.  Through this lens I view my artistry as one practice of crafting visual languages which connects the characters and audience to a profoundly dynamic network of history and meaning.  Each piece I encounter is an entryway into an intimate experience and worldview; finding pathways to understanding these experiences, navigating communities, histories, and identities with care and authenticity is what excites me about costume design. This approach nourishes the creative spirit, broadening the possibilities of engaging with the performer/body, the ritual, and the story beyond the framework of prevailing theatre practices.
