Beginning because I started working at Renaissance Faires, where I just didn't have a thing to wear; I have been ever improving my skills as a seamstress and costume designer. I have specialized in doing historical recreations, with some theatrics in the mix too.

I'll share some photos of past projects here, please contact me if you'd like to commission something special!

  Here's what the ENC website says about this unique production, directed by Eunice Ferreira: "Ferreira is drawing inspiration from the Chinese myth “Journey to the West,” adding a multicultural focus and unique elements to the classical American story, in celebration of Quincy's diverse community and Asian population. Both tales feature characters embarking on the path (or yellow brick road) of self-discovery, conquering fears and realizing their personal gifts and values.
The production also incorporates Chinese theatre techniques including symbolic and imaginitive staging, acrobatics, martial arts and the blend of the real world Kansas with the dream world Oz. The yellow brick road extending into the seating, larger-than-life objects in a unique set design, along with elaborate costumes create the landscape for Dorothy's imagination and a retelling of a classic tale suitable for discoverers of all ages..."
