I have two great loves: clothing and stories.
Sharing stories means sharing learning and growth. Every new story broadened my world; stories challenge us to understand one another and change accordingly. Clothing, whether from a thrift store or a runway, show the creativity of the designer and the self-expression of the wearer. I like to add beauty to the world whenever I can do so, whether by recommending books or outfits, and I believe the purpose of clothing and art is to enrich life.
In order to fuse my love of storytelling and clothing, I am pursuing a career in costume design. By studying a specific play with its world and characters and then helping to create them with appropriate costumes, I get to share stories in a visually accessible way. My greatest desire is to continue finding the stories that need to be told (be they little stories, epic tales, or every day instances) and to share them, using my specific costume skill set, in local communities around the world.
