Expertise
I can help people find sources for their costume ideas and give them ideas for creating it themselves. Many times a costume can be made from items people already have or can easily find, but they just don't realize the potential.
Experience
I have been costuming as long as I can remember. After getting requests to make outfits for other people, I eventually started my own company and online store at:
www.ThreeMusesClothing.com
In January 2009 I opened a costume boutique in Jacksonville, FL. I now do costume design full time and run both the storefront and online store. You can view my costume portfolio at:
