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.

Design Concept & Execution
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.

Western Inspired Felt Hat
Western Inspired Felt Hat
I was asked to create a blocked felt hat of my choosing for my Millinery course, so I decided to construct a hat inspired by western themed elements. For this project I made the hat in two parts, using a black felt hood to pull and stretch the crown and brim over two separate wooden blocks. After sizing the felt pieces I assembled the hat together and disguised the seaming with a beaded hat band I had patterned and wove together on a bead loom. To complete the hat, I designed and tooled a leather feather to add a textural and rugged element and to complete the western theme.
