I’m based in New York City and enjoy designing costumes for all areas of performance; classics to new work, period to contemporary, and everything in between. As a designer and as an assistant/associate I have experience in opera, drama, musical theatre, and dance, and have worked extensively in both professional theatre and academia.
I believe authentic, empathetic storytelling is the foundation of effective costume design. As a designer I want to help create characters and tell stories that reflect our shared humanity, and I value a creative process rooted in a culture of respect and understanding. I chose a career in theatre because of the unique opportunities for collaboration and how many voices come together to tell a single story. I love watching the ideas, hard work, and life experience of a diverse group of artists come together to create a cohesive final product.
I attended Howard University for three years, where I studied theatre and sociology. I took full advantage of the HBCU experience while at Howard, and Black theatre history and African-American theatre aesthetics continue to be major influences for me as an artist. In 2018 I transferred to the University of Maryland, Baltimore County in order to hone in on my design training; in 2020 I graduated with a BA in Theatre with a concentration in Design and Production. In 2025, I received my MFA in Costume Design from the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale.
