My favorite thing has always been a good story. As a kid I’d sit and read as many books as I could, often aloud to the trees in my backyard just in case they liked a good tale as well.

Today,  I am living and working in New York exploring costume design as a medium for world building and story telling. I recognize, however, that no world can be built through one element on its own. I love the room for collaboration theater and costume design allows, both with other tech elements and actors.

After working on shows such as TheSkriker by Caryl Churchill during my MFA, I have been eager to work on more shows with high fantasy elements rooted in the same kind of nature I read to as a child. @rosiee.henderson
