I believe that every costume tells a story. As a costume designer, buyer, and wardrobe stylist for film, television, and commercials, my work is about more than just clothing—it's about building worlds and defining characters.

From the historically rich narratives of I Wanna Dance With Somebody to the iconic worlds of Stranger Things and The Beanie Bubble, I have had the privilege of bringing diverse stories to life. My design process is rooted in deep research and meticulous craftsmanship, ensuring every detail serves the character's journey. My work in contemporary styling has also been recognized by British Vogue, reflecting my passion for both period accuracy and modern trends.

I thrive on creative collaboration, working alongside directors and production teams to develop a cohesive visual language. My skills in sketching, garment construction, and costume aging allow me to deliver compelling, budget-conscious designs without compromising on artistic vision, even on the most demanding schedules.

A southern girl at heart, I earned my Bachelor of Science in Fine Arts from North Carolina A&T State University. Though I am based in Atlanta, my work has taken me to major production hubs like Los Angeles, Chicago, and Boston. I am a proud member of IATSE Local 479 and the International Society of Black Costume Designers (ISBCD).
