I was born in 1958, the Barbie doll was "born" in 1959; so for a year I had nothing to do. Since then I've been making up for lost time by dressing anyone and anything that comes within my reach. I am a professionally trained Fashion Designer whose business is designing and creating what I call costumes for life... suits, evening gowns, and casual wear. My clothing is all hand crafted and personally fit to each customer. I have dressed movie stars, political figures, and worked for several theaters. Some of my favorite work has been restoring, and copying, heirloom garments and reinterpreting styles from bygone eras.I have a very eclectic background, with a focus on fashion design and costuming. I am also a trained instructor, as well as a having a degree in the computer field. This, I feel, makes me a unique member of any team. I have been told I "play well with others", but know that I work quite well
