I began my career in theatrical costuming in San Francisco in 1993 as Wardrobe Supervisor with Dance Through Time, California Shakespeare, Smuin Ballet and Pickle Family Circus.

 

Later on, I was invited to design for Diablo Ballet and ODC/SF where my costumes for Weird Weather and Walk Before Talk were favorably reviewed in the SF Chronicle.

 

My designs for ODC/SF's Below The Rim earned me a nomination for an Isadora Duncan Dance Award in 1997.

 

Within that period, I had the great fortune of working with Eleanor Coppola on a commission for a Y2K party gown for a private event held at their winery in Napa Valley.

 

Since then, I've designed garments for Lady Gaga, Barry Manilow and more.
