Design Concept & Execution
Sister Act, based on the movie of the same name starring Whoopie Goldberg, is a story that revolves around a want-to-be disco singer who is forced to hide in a convent after accidentally witnessing a murder. Because the musical is set in the late 1970s, I was heavily influenced by the disco star Donna Summer and the fashion trends she set during that time. Emphasis on glitter, glam, and bright colors inspired me to costume everyone who lived outside the convent in a bold, 70's silhouette in order to contrast the nun's stark apparel. It was also important to stay true to the traditional clerical garb that nuns have been wearing for hundreds of years and to be as accurate as possible when it came to portraying those who live in a convent. Altogether, Sister Act provided me an excellent opportunity to learn how to balance the crazy style and fashion of the 70's with the strict religious garb of the church.

It's A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, based on the original tale, is centered around a man who discovers what life around him would have been like if he had never been born. For this production I sought to place the focus of my designs around a bright and cheery color palette influenced by Christmas themes while staying true to the style and silhouette of the 1940s.

Ballet Bodice & Romantic Tutu
Design Concept & Execution
For my Dancewear class I was asked to design, pattern, and construct a ballet bodice and tutu inspired by a piece of classical music and principle ballet character. I decided to build an ensemble based off of the character Ophelia from Tchaikovsky's Hamlet Overture Fantasia Op 67. Inspired by John Everett Millais' painting Ophelia from 1852, I created an ethereal and romantic tutu that conveys her tragic death, portrayed through elements of hand beading, dyeing, and using gold leafing techniques.
