What I do…   
I thrive on collaborating with all my co-workers because working alone is no fun.  I like a good script (who doesn’t?) particularly new pieces, and helping develop characters and stories for the first time.  The research process, learning about people and their stories, is always fascinating and humbling.  I do a deep dive into my voluminous costume library, which has too many books, if there is such a thing.  Inspiration is in every fabric store and finding the perfect choices is the most satisfying thing ever.  Working through the details during rehearsals is extremely gratifying, making all the costumes come together as the production develops.  There’s nothing better than a good costume shop; finding treasures in stock and using them to great advantage. I’m a stickler for good wigs because nothing is worse onstage than a bad wig. I adore period shows, love musicals, as well as stories from today. My goal is always finding or creating clothes that excite the actors and give them keys to their characters.
