I am a recent UGA graduate with a B.J.A in Mass Media Arts and a minor in Communication Studies. Along with having outstanding management and organizational skills, I specialize in production and costume design. I have 7 years work experience in the customer service/retail industry, as well as a 12-year background in theatrical performance. Through years of hands on experience and educational training, I have acquired many skills necessary for the artistic design and development of film and theater productions.
My main passion is costuming. I believe costuming plays an extremely important role when developing a story world and the characters within it. My background in performing and production allows me to accomplish this process using multiple perspectives and out of the box thinking. I find true happiness in producing unique wearable works of art that inspire the viewers and surpass the client’s expectations.
It has always been my desire to work in a fun enthusiastic environment where I can surround myself with other hard working creative minds dedicated to making their mark on the entertainment industry. Most of all, I want to learn from the best and progress my skills so I can continue to grow as an artist.
