For the past 25 years, I have had the privilege of working with students, sharing my expertise in patterning, fit, and garment construction. I spent 15 years as a professional cutter and draper for Cornell University's theatre program, where I honed my skills in creating costumes for live productions. For the last 11 years, I have been part of the Apparel Design program, guiding students as they refine their techniques and transform their creative designs into finished garments. I find great fulfillment in bringing their 2D drawings to life and take immense pride in seeing many of these designs showcased on the runway during the annual fashion show.
