Hey, I’m Isabel –

I’m a costume designer and fiber artist living in Queens.

As a designer, my work seeks to bring the inner life of each character to the outside; to give the audience a window to the inarticulable. My passion is for design that transports — the collaborative construction of new worlds that create wholly new realities for audiences to find community with.

My work is primarily in live performance, and I have a particular affinity for the creation of new works, and especially new musicals. I find the joy and challenge of artistic germination highly rewarding, and enjoy to collaborate in the fast paced enviroment that it creates.

I have designed costumes for new and established works at The Connelly (Off-Broadway), wild project, Actors Theatre of Louisville, Taproot Theatre and more. As an associate and assistant designer, my credits include productions on Broadway (Dead Outlaw, Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club), Off Broadway with Classic Stage Company, The Public, Audible Theatre, National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene, as well as NYC area productions with Martha Graham, Disney Theatrical, Papermill Playhouse. Regional credits include productions with American Repertory, Des Moines Metro Opera, Opera Theatre St. Louis, Center Theatre Group, and The Alley. In addition to live theatre, textiles assistant credits include work for Madonna’s Celebration Tour, Olivia Rodrigo’s GUTS Tour, and Tate McRae’s USA Tour.

Before transitioning to full-time freelance design work, I held a position as Costume Director at Barrington Stage Company for several seasons and prior to that worked as a regional Design Assistant at Actors Theatre of Louisville. I hold a BA in Drama and History from the University of Washington in Seattle, where I lived and worked for four years before departing for the (relatively) drier Eastern half of the U.S.
