about

I see clothes as character. Fabrics, textures, and color can reflect a personality as much as they can one's culture. A wardrobe may accentuate or mask features, embrace or reject norms, and uphold or challenge socio-economic status. I am most interested in the intersection of a character's history and how they choose to express themselves. I love film and theater because I love collaborating to tell stories about people.
