An LA based costume designer and dramaturg originally from Katy, Texas, I hold a BFA in theatre performing arts with a minor (plus a little) in Elementary Education from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I’ve been designing for the last ten years, and pursuing dramaturgical projects for the last three. Projects I’m most passionate about are those involving devised or new works, and programs that integrate arts into education. In my free time I love thrifting and visitng local book stores.
One of my favorite aspects of design is the dramaturgical aspect. I love mining a script for every little detail the playwright left us. Aside from designing, new play development is something I'm very passionate about. One of my goals is to read a new play every week (thanks, New Play Exchange). Join me on instagram for #scriptedsunday - I'd love to see what you're reading!
