Copenhagen
Things have started up on Copenhagen, and it has been going really well so far! Hoping to get my designs approved this week so I can get started putting it all together.. For now, here's a sneak peek! I tried a new rendering technique on this show, using photoshop to collage the costume design onto a photo of the actual actor. Fairly pleased with the result!

Silver Gardens!
Sorry for the long gap between posts! Things have been busy around here!
My third (and final!) year of my MFA has started up, and in addition to classes I've been finishing up two projects that I began over the summer.
The first is On Emotion, Son of Semele Ensemble's latest production, which is written by Mick Gordon and Paul Broks. It's the U.S. premiere of the play, and it revolves around Stephen, a cognitive behavioralist, his melancholy patient Anna, his daughter Lucy, and his autistic son Mark. It opened this last weekend and runs through November 15th. Information and tickets available on their website!
The second project is Silver Gardens, an MFA thesis project directed by New York Film Academy student Mehdi Khani. It has been a really fun and challenging project, giving me the opportunity to do a really wide variety of costumes from contemporary clothing to battle scenes with masked warriors, to a formal masquerade ball! Here are some photos from set to give you a taste!
Hope you enjoyed the photos! Next up for me I'm starting work on the first of my two design assignments at UCLA this year: Copenhagen for MFA director Alex Levy. It's a Tony award winning play about a controversial meeting during WWII between the physicists Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg in which they discussed the ethics of science in war. Fascinating play! Looking forward to getting started!

Long time no update!
It really has been quite a while since I posted! So here's an update on what I've been up to. Since Deicide closed, I have been working on a few projects, taking time to travel, and enjoying my last summer break ever. (Sad!)
In July, I spent a week in San Francisco with my boyfriend, seeing the sights and eating a lot of delicious meals. Immediately after I got back I started working on pickup shots for Honest Cheat, the feature film. Very excited to finally see that one when it's finally completed. From there I spent a long weekend with the parents in Seattle.
August started out with a little break between projects, and now I'm working full swing on several things. I've started the design process on On Emotion, Son of Semele Ensemble's fall production, written by Mick Gordon. It is a four person show that analyzes the role of emotion in guiding our lives. I also just completed gathering costumes for director Moe Koaik's latest short film, Ramiro's Crossing, which is a comedy about a Mexican farmer who crosses the border into the U.S. to look for work. This week I've been starting up on another student film called Silver Gardens, directed by Mehdi Khani, which is a really beautiful story about a violinist, including a really fantastic masquerade ball which takes place within his inner self. In the midst of all of this, I have also been working for a few weeks as a stitcher with the Young Frankenstein national tour, helping them alter and mend costumes between their Los Angeles and Costa Mesa stops.
In September, I'll be spending a week and a half in New York with my family, and am looking forward to seeing some good theater and eating great meals! After I return, school starts up again and I finish shooting on Silver Gardens.
All in all, summer has been treating me well, and I'm looking forward to what lies ahead!

LA Weekly shoutout!
I got a shoutout in LA Weekly's review of Deicide: A Sorta Muscial! Super exciting..
NEW REVIEW DEICIDE: A SORTA MUSICAL If you've ever yearned for a feel-good musical about Holy Wars and the end of civilization, this is it. Sorta. Writers Michael Ciriaco (book) and Brandon Baruch (book, music and lyrics) have a shamelessly good time bashing the big business of God and humanity's desperate need for deities, in whatever shape or form, as does the appealing cast of their goofball, scrappily ambitious -- albeit overlong -- musical romp. Like any good religious tale, it's filled with sex, violence and cool costumes (Laura Wong). Baruch directs with attention to cardboard-cutout detail (Gabriel Flores' design), and standout performances keep us laughing, even as the premise is stretched thinner and sillier. Murky Productions at the Paul G. Gleason Theatre, 6520 Hollywood Blvd., L.A. Tues.-Wed., June 22-23, 9 p.m.; Fri., June 25, 8:30 p.m.; Sat., June 26, 5 p.m. (866) 811-4111.

End of the school year!
Just finished my last final of the year! The year 2 of my MFA is over.. it went so fast!
Things are still going at breakneck pace, as work on Deicide: A Sorta Musical started going in full swing this week. We open in a week and a half, so this has really been an exercise in having to work quickly! It's a really funny show though, and there have been a lot of fun and unique costume challenges in it. Come on out and see the show if you're in the area! It's a part of the first ever Hollywood Fringe Festival, and runs the last two weekends in June.
I haven't updated in a while, so here's something from one of my projects in design class this quarter! Marcelle from Hotel Paradiso, in the infamous mauve dress..
