Previously worked with
Fever Projects, The Queens Ball LLC was a one of kind project that melded immersive theater, event production, a beloved Netflix show, and audiences across the USA. I was Head of Wardrobe for the Midwest tour, it included purchasing, hiring, training, wigs, makeup teaches, load in and load outs, and really everything in between.
The Joinery at Lululemon's Experiential location offers custom on-brand solutions for repairs and alterations. I led the team of tailors as well as body inclusion staff meetings and worked on supply orders, local partnerships for machine repair, and SOP's for the team.
Uncommon Closet is a tailoring shop specializing in gender-affirming custom clothing and cuts. Featured on Forbes and The Chicago Tribune for creating a safe place to explore fashion and function for the LGBTQ+ community. I worked with Uncommon Closet as a tailor to help create the vision of a safe place for bodies of all types and underserviced communities to come.
Columbia College Chicago's theater costume shop is a playground for creativity and the birth of ideas. I worked as a stitcher and draper helping create dimension and life to designers' sketches and maintenance on the existing costume stock. I worked on actors, dress forms, a variety of machines and tools, and with other artists.
Chicago Opera Theater is a reoccurring partnership. I've worked closely with the Costume Director and worn many hats on many different productions throughout the design and fititng process you can find me leading the stitching team, in the fitting rooms with the designer, running the dressing team, and even constructing costumes.
