I have been working as a freelance costume designer since 2002 with such companies as Fairbanks Shakespeare Theatre, Kentucky Shakespeare Festival, and Kearsarge Arts Theatre Company, as well as over a dozen theatres in the Chicago area.
I received my MFA from Purdue University where I taught Introduction to Costume Design and Technology and Makeup Design. I received my bachelors in Theatre Performance from Bradley University and served as Managing Director of Tantalus Theatre Group before stepping down to pursue my MFA. Last Summer, I worked as a First Hand with the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival. This summer, I designed Measure for Measure and Two Gentlemen of Verona, a Musical under the midnight sun for Fairbanks Shakespeare Theatre.
