Brianne has designed the costumes for over 70 theatrical productions, five short films, and a television pilot, and is currently working at Campbell Hall School in North Hollywood, where she designs the costumes for the middle school, high school, and dance productions and teaches as part of their summer creative arts academy. She was also the resident costume designer for the Los Angeles-based Meh-Tropolis Dance Theatre from its founding in 2002 until 2008. In addition to writing this blog, she is a frequent contributor to the online magazine Tyranny of Style, dedicated to celebrating the art and process of costume design. Brianne graduated with a B.A. in Theatre Arts and a minor in History from Loyola Marymount University.
