“Give ’em the old razzle dazzle.” -Chicago

‍
“Give ’em the old razzle dazzle.” That philosophy from Chicago perfectly captures my approach to costume design. I specialize in creating bold, elaborate costumes filled with texture, sparkle, and intricate detail. From the first sketch to the final rhinestone, I believe costumes should transform performers and captivate audiences—bringing a little extra magic to every moment on stage.

My introduction to costume design came through youth theatre when my children began performing, and what started as helping backstage quickly grew into a creative passion of my own. I love working closely with actors—treating each performer like a personal client so they look and feel their best—while collaborating with directors and production teams to ensure every costume contributes to the larger visual story of the show. I’m especially drawn to whimsical productions that invite elaborate designs, rich textures, and the kind of detailed craftsmanship that truly gives the stage its razzle dazzle.
