I was the costume designer/builder for True JEM (2023) and West Ottawa High School (2026) productions of Joseph & the Technicolor Dreamcoat. The portfolios below include photos from each show and my design notes.

I created many new bright-colored pieces for each show. Each brother's costume was unique and included a tunic or shirt/pants combo, a vest or overlay, a belt or sash, and a custom headpiece. The wives were similar but replaced pants with skirts.
