I am a costume designer and visual artist based in Chicago and Puerto Rico. Artistic Collaboration in the service of story is what brings me to the blank page everyday. Stories allow us to reflect upon our own humanity, critique our darker selves, rejoice in our beauty, and celebrate our successes and failures as we create. Costumes are a vital visual representation of the human experience in this process.
