Treasure Island
Hair and Makeup Designer, First Hand
Where: Texas State University
When: February 2026
About: I was the Hair and Makeup Designer for Treasure Island in February of 2026. This opportunity was different than my last designs in that Texas State is now separating the Design, Supervisor, and Crew Roles. Previously, "Hair and Makeup Supervisor/Designer" was more or less the same thing, and either the supervisor would design, or the costume designer would. Musicals would have an additional crew. This upcoming semester, however, I essentially only did hair and makeup "pre-pro" work - Designing the looks, creating tracking paperwork, and styling wigs/facial hair before hand. Everything during the run of the show was be up to a separate supervisor.

SCREAM
Costume Designer, Blood Captain
Where: COSMO Theatre Troupe

About: SCREAM: The unauthorized staged adaptation was a genderbent, staged version of the original 1996 movie. It was performed as a part COSMO Theatre Troupe’s 2022-2023 season. I was the Costumes/HMU Designer.
During this process, I made blood packs for Casey (Hailey Heitmeyer), Billy (Jessica Ruibal), and Stu (Emily Molina) so blood would explode when these characters were stabbed.
Steve Orth’s (Zach Blankenship) messed up face after he was beaten by Ghostface.
Costumes were relatively simple: Everyone wore a white t-shirt so that blood would show, as well as character indentifying accessories (IE Dewey’s handcuffs and cowboy hat)
