Spending most of my childhood as a tomboy, I used to reject dresses and jewelry in favor of jeans and skinned knees. But over time, I found myself coming back to sketching gowns and costumes.

Coming from an academic household, I was encouraged to explore and research any and all fields. Because of this, I enjoy researching design inspiration from varied sources, and channeling those influences into garments and costumes that emphasize structural design and telling a story.

​​Combining my various backgrounds and education at Iowa State University, I currently volunteer my skills and experience as a costume designer and director for my local community theatres in central Iowa, as well as freelancing fashion and photography commissions.
