In the beginning, there was simply a love of story telling and a need to create. Over the years, as much as I’ve tried to convince myself otherwise ... there is no secret sauce - just relentless hard work, artistry and purpose. My love affair is the commitment to producing dujour moments for my clients. My attention to detail borders on madness. Seldom do I see apparel as a “yes” or “no,” but as abstract notions of color, proportion, patterns and genres to be cast into something strikingly picture-perfect. My best work springs from days of dehydration, famine, health food deprivation and 5AM crew calls. For some reason I can never find my car keys, but unfailingly earn gold stars for my flawless and timely execution of concepts - all while respecting the all mighty dollar. A good day consists of quality time with my son, working with creatives I respect, seventy-seven degree weather, and dark chocolate. TV/FILM Costume Designer REBEL.
