The Hillywood Show is the nation's leading non-profit parody show. As Costume Designer on several films, the key focus is to maintain the integrity of the original costumes but add my own unique flair for their unsurpassed parodies of such amazing films like Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, The Runaways and many more. Future projects are always in the works. Check them out at www.thehillywoodshow.com. My costumes can also be seen on the actors, as they currently host The Official Twilight Tour from Summit Entertainment.

As a sales team support artist at YP Holdings, (formerly AT&T Advertising Solutions), creating and maintaining creative and inventive customer advertising is our key focus. I am highly skilled at
branding which includes publishing and ad design, logos, signage, business cards, letterhead, etc. I strive for customer excellence and service...above and beyond our clients needs. Since 2002 I have held the title of department "SME" (Subject Matter Expert), and I am one of only a few that actually have customer contact when designing for them. In addition to creating artwork for our growing customer base, I also produce artwork for internal projects such as campaigns, kick-offs and anniversaries. This includes everything from banners and posters to custom package design and apparel design.

Since 1999, I have created exact replica costumes and props for a special auction called BROADWAY BEARS. The North American Bear Company donates "blank" bears to us, the designers of around 20 total, and we work directly with particular Broadway Shows both past and present. I started with the revival of Cabaret, and then RENT became my mainstay. I worked in conjunction with RENT and their costume designer Angela Wendt and assistant Lisa Zinni until the show closed on Broadway in 2008. In 2006 I started with the show WICKED, and created a bear from the show every year since. Other shows I've worked with include LEGALLY BLONDE, YOURE A GOOD MAN CHARLIE BROWN, DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and THE SECRET GARDEN. Each 25" bear is outfitted in a beautiful, exact replicas of the original costume for a particular character, most of which include using the original costumes and fabrics to scale. The bears are hand signed by the actors and sometimes the writers, directors, musicians, lyricists and costume designer. Some bears have been auctioned for as much as $35,000.00! All proceeds go to Broadway Cares, which is the Nations Leading Non Profit, Industry Based AIDS charity. My work with BROADWAY CARES is the most fullfilling experience I've ever had in my entire career.
