About Me.

Costume design is my home. I have made a long journey to get here and I love what I do.

My focus is the character within the reality of the production. I value a close partnership with the performer and director in creating multilayered characters by the means of costume.

I work as a costume designer, assistant costume designer, set costumer and costume builder.
