Costume Coordination
Costume supervisors collaborate with the costume designer to ensure the vision and concept for the production are executed. I help coordinate costumes for each character, ensuring they align with the designer’s vision, director’s imagination and the overall design aesthetic.
Melissa McCarthy and Brian Tyree Henry stole the show as presenters for the Best Costume Design award at the 91st Academy Awards.
24 hour turnaround for both costumes, both custom made. Fitting and adjustments done on the day of the show.
Costume Production
Costume supervisors manage the costume production process. I oversee costume construction, alterations, and fittings, working closely with costumers, costume makers, tailors, and other craftspeople to bring the designs to life.

This massive costume was built to occupy the size of the Dolby Theater stage in Hollywood, CA in less than a week.
Budget and logistics
Costume supervisors play a crucial role in budget management and tracking costs related to costumes. This includes sourcing and purchasing materials, managing rental agreements, and keeping track of expenses associated with costumes.
Team Management
Costume supervisors oversee a team of set costumers, office costumers, and costume assistants, delegating tasks, providing guidance, and supervising their work. This involves ensuring proper care and maintenance of costumes, organizing storage and inventory, and overseeing costume changes during performances and shoots.
Collaboration and Communication
Costume supervisors interact with various stakeholders, including directors, actors, production crew, and costume designers. I believe that effective communication and collaboration are essential to understand and fulfill the requirements of production.
