Research Interests:

Symbiotic relationship of Costume Design & Technology

Research Summary:

My area of research and creative work is in the symbiotic relationship between costume design and technology. This is a continuation of my professional career as both a costume designer and a costume technician. I firmly believe that design and the physical implementation of that design are inextricably entwined. Better knowledge, experience and aptitude for one area improve one’s ability in the other area. I explore this concept through continued professional experience in the field and through research on pertinent topics for conference presentations.

MFA in Costume Design from West Virginia University
BS in Business Administration from Drake University
