Costume design for stop-motion blends miniature craftsmanship with storytelling in every stitch. My work spans fabric dyeing, beading, pleating, sewing, tailoring, and finishing, all scaled for animation-ready movement and camera performance. Whether creating original garments from scratch or refining existing pieces, I focus on texture, character, and continuity.

Annika Schindler Costume Class – Educational Project
I began my work in miniature costume fabrication through a specialized course with Annika Schindler, where I designed and constructed the featured garment as a study in stop-motion costume techniques. This educational project explored sewing, fabric manipulation, and scale-specific construction methods.

Brim Broome Boulevard – Short Stop-Motion Film
As part of the costume team, I contributed to the fabrication and finishing of multiple character wardrobes. For the main character, my work included hand-beading the costume, pleating tulle, and fabricating the undershirt, belt, and top. The only element I did not work on for this costume was assembling the skirt.

For the Frankenstein costume—originally created by another maker—I dyed the fabric, tailored the garment, and applied finishing details such as sewing on buttons, which I documented in a process video.

Additional Costume Work in Puppet Builds
I also design and fabricate costumes as part of my full stop-motion puppet builds. Notable examples include the costumes for Mrs. Brisby and Brutus in the Stop-Motion Puppet Builds section.
