Costume Highlights
I design and make costumes, blending traditional couture methods like delicate hand embroidery and tambour hook beading with rogue punk hot-glue improvisation to create wearable art for performers and fashionable freaks. My work has been seen on stages in Las Vegas, Seattle, New York, Chicago, Vancouver, Hong Kong, London, Sydney and beyond.
