I have been making costumes for film, theatre and television for over 20 years, most recently as Cutter/Draper at the Opera Company of Philadelphia. With a BFA in sculpture and a minor in metal smithing from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, my work combines the utilitarian and the abstract; from tailored dresses and jackets to Misfit toys made from recycled stuffed animals. When asked, I usually tell people that I make whatever needs making at the time.
