What is your background in design?

I began assembling used/vintage textiles into theatrical costumes during the high school years. Clothing came next while using a secondhand, black lacquer Singer and the miscellaneous textiles from garage sales, thrift stores, estate and church sales, and reclaiming used/found materials. After high school, I studied Business, Design, and Dance. I read tons of practical applications and found the greatest source for continuing on, oodles and noodles of practice.  While studying Dance at Columbia College Chicago, I realized that costumes played an intricate role for the performances. The availability in movement and projection of each design was tantamount for dancers, performers and individuals alike. Today, each handmade structure reflects the use of cottons and the grace of the human body.
