“I am costume designer, who enjoys creating characters spanning multiple genres of entertainment. As one of few deaf/hard of hearing theatrical and film designers, I strive to bring a more diverse perspective to all group collaborations. Though I am an effective communicator, living in a quieter world elevates my perception of color, texture, and the human silhouette. I aspire to give audience members an emotionally visual storytelling experience.

As designers, we are constantly looking for ways to improve our process, our world outlook, and ultimately, we never stop learning. I believe this has always drawn me into the world of education and, in addition to my design aspirations. I have a passion for working with students and hold positions at UCLA and UCSB. As a costume design and costume history lecturer, I keep a consistent presence in the educational community.

I am also an experienced shopper, fitter, and local 705 costumer, who would happily support your upcoming project!”
