The continuously changing fashion trends of society have always intrigued me, and have inspired me to look at the powerful effect that clothing has on how society views people. I believe that because of the strong effect of clothing, the costumes that we put on the stage have a large impact on how the work is viewed. As a designer, I work to understand the essence of the dance, in order to create garments that help to portray this. With a background in dance, I find that I am able to understand and enhance the vision of the choreographer. Each costume I design, is done with great detail, care, and respect in order to assist in the connection between the choreographer's vision and the viewer.
