Stop Motion Costume and Puppet Fabricator
I descend from a long line of quilters and thus have been sewing in some form or another from a very young age. My devotion to learning lead to a BFA in Illustration as well as studying abroad in Japan and New Zealand. I take new classes whenever the opportunity arises.
I worked for LAIKA on Kubo and The Two Strings and Missing Link in both the Rapid Prototype and Costume departments. I co-authored the book Talking Threads: Costume Design for Animation, Games, and Illustration. When not on a production or dabbling in puppets for live entertainment with Michael Curry Design, I combine a variety of mediums to tell stories such as OniSan, a stop motion + graphic novel. I also make videos documenting costume case studies. I enjoy the challenge of translating a design to a functional product and collaborating with other creatives.
I currently live in Oregon with my husband and our canine children.

‘Talking Threads’ is a costume designer’s treasure chest, an overflowing trove of precious information, golden rules, and pearls of wisdom.
