About
Art is a universal language of freedom that goes beyond any visible form to pierce on our emotional bodies and make us ignite to life.
As a skilled costume technologist and draper, I bring art to life through fabric, thread, and trim. Collaborating closely with designers, I construct intricate and exceptional costumes that showcase our creative teamwork. My expertise lies in transforming two-dimensional renderings into stunning three-dimensional garments. I thrive on the sense of accomplishment when I compare the initial designs to the finished creations.

Bio
In addition to my technical abilities, I prioritize being a positive and adaptable team player, even in challenging environments. I stay up-to-date with the latest technologies, incorporating computer patterning, three-dimensional printing, and circuitry design into my work. My diverse skill set and experience make me an asset to costume shops, allowing me to seamlessly adapt to different designers and techniques, resulting in beautiful and unique artwork.
Continual learning and growth are crucial to me, as I constantly seek new techniques and technologies to enhance my costuming abilities. I embrace risks and challenges, finding immense satisfaction in the process and the final outcome. Sharing my knowledge through workshops, symposiums, and poster sessions is a passion of mine, as I love inspiring and mentoring others who are eager to learn from my experiences.
