Design approach

Inspiration

I am always looking for new sources of inspiration. in addition to customer requirements, I am often inspired to start new creative projects by things I see in movies, YouTube videos, nature walks, or interactions with people. 

Recycle, repurpose, and reuse

I believe in being a good steward and managing costs.  I pick up interesting materials and supplies from garage sales and thrift stores so I can have them on hand for future projects...and I am always open to donated materials!  

Creative challenge

I am constantly working to build by costume designer skills by learning new sewing/construction techniques and being willing to experiment. I enjoy taking on unique and creative design challenges.

Quality construction

Although I am not a professional tailor, I am a perfectionist and am committed to creating costumes I can be proud of.  I value quality over quantity, so I prefer to focus on specialty / custom costumes rather than mass production. 

"Design-to-rent" program

Because I am building my inventory of high-quality theatre costumes and am always looking for new sources of inspiration for my designs, I am sometimes willing to offer a "design-to-rent" contract.


This means that I will design and build a custom-fit costume for one or more individuals in time for an event/show. They will rent the costume(s) from me, then I will keep the costume(s) in my inventory for future rentals.


  • Individual rentals - I will use supplies I have on hand if possible but will add a charge if I need to purchase additional materials/supplies.


  • Show/event rentals - This offer may be applied to one or more of the costumes included in a costume rental/design contract.  Additional fees may include a minimum payment for my time and a charge for any purchased materials/supplies.


My willingness to make a "design-to-rent" offer depends on my bandwidth and estimation of the future rentability for each costume piece. If you think you have a project that would qualify ... let's talk!

    Terms and conditions

    Costume design & construction

    Because I work full time during the day, I have to be selective in my costume designer commitments. However, I am always looking for new sources of inspiration.  

    Custom rental packages

    I am just getting started in the costume-rental space, so all agreements are individual.  Fill out the contact form to explain your custom costume needs and interests, and I will put together a package.  Because this is my personal collection and I am not a for-profit company, I reserve the right to deny services or donate services at my discretion.
