Alterations, tailoring, cut/sew, draping, On-Set tailoring, On-Set Costuming, Costume Design, Wardrobe Styling
I started working in the film industry in 2003 out of Tucson Arizona. I was hired as a Costume Tailor for a small production and that led into working as an On-Set Costumer. I worked in Arizona, New York, Los Angeles CA and Nashville TN throughout 2003 - 2016. I have relocated to East Glacier Montana and would like to continue to work on costumes when productions come about in the state. I have been in costume construction for 30 plus years. My career in costume construction started in theater productions, opera, dance and period pieces. I have extensive knowledge in costume history, wardrobe styling, makeup, stitching and draping. My background in clothing started with Fashion Design, Tailoring, and Costumes.My most recent work was on a film with Nicolas Cage in August 2021 that filmed in Paradise Valley Montana. I constructed western costumes for the show. I have my set kit readily available and in my studio I have my industrial sewing machine, serger and all the tools to create costumes.
