As the costume designer for Roe, I gained a clearer sense of how layered the design process can be. Creating research presentations alongside sketches and renderings helped me shape a visual approach that supported the play’s shifting timelines. Organizing fittings taught me how to adjust designs in response to the actor's needs while keeping the overall concept consistent. I also grew more comfortable with the necessary paperwork: learning which documents kept the team organized, how to track measurements and costume pieces effectively, and how to maintain purchase and budget tables. The experience strengthened both my creative and organizational skills, deepening my understanding of how thoughtful design supports a complex story.
