As the costume designer for a youth production of The Lion King JR., I worked with the cast to create bold, character-driven costumes inspired by the show’s iconic animal imagery. We combined my design concepts with the performers’ ideas while transforming thrifted and stock pieces through painting, embellishment, and sculptural details. I planned the daily projects and managed the costume budget. I handled individual fittings to ensure each actor could move comfortably in their role. I also coordinated all the quick changes during the performance.
