Another hobby I've been practicing since I was little, is drawing. My parents used to work a lot when I was a kid, so my uncle Jac, who was an amazing artist, babysat my older brother and I. To pass the time, him and I would draw together, and we even started drawing together at family gatherings. My art style and the way I practice art was influenced by my uncle, and I used to always look to him for ways to improve my craft.

I have been sewing since I was six, and my Oma was the one who taught me. At first she and I only made simple things. However, as I grew older I wanted to learn more about the more adventurous side of sewing. My Oma of course supported this, and taught me how to make patterns, how to use a serger, how to hand sew, ect. If it weren't for my Oma, I wouldn't enjoy or know how to sew, and I still to this day ask her for advice on sewing!

I love the costume design choices for Roses costumes in the Titanic movie!

I am a sucker for 1920s fashion, and I would kill to make a costume like this some day.

Something that inspires me when it comes to costume design is historical fashion! In particular, I really enjoy looking at the different kinds of materials and silhouettes from different time periods. Two of my favorite time periods are the Regency and Edwardian periods. What I like about the regency era is the fact that the waist line is higher up on the bodice an the neckline is more boxy. As for the Edwardian era, I really like the shape of the bust and the beautifiul hats and gowns of this period.

Something that inspires me about theater, is how insane some of the quick changes are either on or back stage. An actor could have only seconds during a scene to change out of whatever costume they were wearing before, and into an entirely new outfit. Some of my favorite quick changes on stage are the quick change in Shrek when Fionna transforms into an ogre, and of course the quick change in Frozen when Elsa's dress changes from her queen dress to her ice gown.

My first love for costuming came from what I saw on TV, so it's only natural that I aspire to design something grand enough that it makes it on the big screen. If I were to ever go the Hollywood path with my designs, I would want to design for either a historical piece or something outrageous and beautiful. Some films that I aspire to meet the level of, is Labyrinth and of course Titanic.

My love for theater actually came later on when I started high school. However, I have found that live theater has something that Hollywood doesn't have which is the fact that is live! At first, I wanted to just design something for Broadway, but now I aspire to work as costume run crew or even wardrobe. This is mainly because I enjoy the rush of sprinting backstage to quickly help with a quick change or even speedily fix a costume during the run of the show.

As I mentioned before, my Oma and my Uncle Jac are my biggest inspirations when it comes to design and costuming. However, another thing that helped me fall in love with construction and design was that I used to go to local conventions in Dallas, and dress up as my favorite characters! Some of my favorite costumes I've made are Weiss from RWBY, Joker from Persona 5, and Angel Devil from Chainsawman!

The craziest thing about high school, was that I didn't even plan to go as far as I have with theater; let alone be a costumer. It's actually a really funny story as to how I got into costuming. It was my freshman year of high school, and I was still in that snobby middle school phase of thinking I was the best actor ever. I obviously quickly learned from a terrible audition for the musical that maybe acting isn't really my thing. Despite this I still wanted to be in the show, so I asked the tech director to put me somewhere, and she put me on costumes.

The theater world is brutal, and most get a thousand "no's" before they ever get a single "yes." Despite this, I think I would be able to stay afloat as a costumer on Broadway. For one, there is always a need for extra hands and technicians in a theater space, but also I'm not very picky at the moment about where I placed in the grand scheme of things. I know for a fact it's going to take a lot of work if I wish to design, but as of right now I'm perfectly content with doing work backstage.

If all else fails, and Broadway doesn't work out, I can always start up my own social media platform and business! In particular, there is always a consumer need for cosplays and renfair costumes. I could always start a youtube channel documenting my process for sewing, and build a following from that!
