As a freelance costume designer working in film, television, and commercial in NYC, I am always on the go. A day of work can consist of having various meetings with directors, actors, & producers, as well as running around to stores, showrooms, and the set searching for that perfect piece. My wardrobe has to be easy, versatile and smart.
First impressions are priceless, when I meet a director, actor, or client for the first time, they have to immediately feel that they can trust me with their creative vision while also feeling confident that I will bring my own ideas to the table. My personal style tends to be a bit tomboy, very simple, and always no fuss. I like to make sure that who I am comes across in my style, and to not let the outfit do the talking for me.
I enjoy pieces that are simple and timeless, with my own personal twist of course! My outfits tend to be fairly simple, my closet is filled with variations of the same button down shirt and a selection of cardigans varying in texture. I will always invest in good quality denim jeans and am a sucker for simple dresses. Accessories are a great way to let my creative side shine through and add a little personality to my look.
