Welcome!

Hey there, I'm Valerie! I was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska and graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan University in Lincoln, Nebraska. I received a BFA in Theatre Technology and Design with an emphasis in management, costume design and costume construction. Ever since I was a child I had a passion for clothing, design and sewing. My involvement in the performing arts began at a very young age when I started competitively dancing. This began my fascination with costumes and the pivotal role they play in performance. Since then my main source of creative freedom has been through making clothing. Because I am a fairly introverted person I have found the most efficient way in expressing myself is through the pieces I create.
