Costume designer and theater artist in NYC
Born in Manhattan, currently in Brooklyn
Costume Design
I am proud to have designed the world premieres of many new plays including:
Infinite Life, John, Usual Girls, Dance Nation, Porto, The Wolves, Men on Boats, 10 out of 12 and You Got Older.
Opera: Recent projects include world premiere of 10 Days in a Madhouse dir. Joanna Settle, and numerous student productions with the New School and the Curtis Institute.
I am mad for the Classics, including my work on Taming of the Shrew dir. Shana Cooper and Dom Juan dir. Ashley Tata. I enjoy the scale of emotion and freedom available when working in the canon.
Company Work
I am one of three founding artistic directors of minor theater company, with: Julia Jarcho, Jenny Seastone, Ásta Hostetter and Ben Williams. We have made award winning work since 2013: Learn more about our shows: PATHETIC , THE TERRIFYING , and GRIMLY HANDSOME here.
In 2022 I directed MARIE IT”S TIME, minor theater’s three person adaptation of Woyzeck. That work was dear to me and I’m so pleased it rocked some of you who saw it. .
