About Rachael

I'm a costume designer and creator, educator, artist, history buff, and geek.

Hi! I'm Rachael. I am currently the Costume Shop Manager at Bridgewater State University. I also design several of the shows for the Theatre Department, run the Wardrobe crews, and coordinate the costumes for the Dance Department productions.

 

From a young age, I knew that I wanted a career that would allow me to express my creativity. Costumes became a hobby around 1st grade, one that slowly and steadily grew into a passion that I chose to pursue both academically and professionally. I received an MFA in Costume Design and a Certificate in Teaching for Higher Education from Temple University. My BFA in Theater Design and Technology from Emerson College.

In my career so far I've not only had the opportunity to work on multiple theatrical productions (including THREE world premieres!), but also have had the experience working on live events, a webseries, a Bollywood music video, student film projects, and to be a wardrobe PA on a movie set. I even designed my own wedding dress and my partner's tuxedo. I have also worked professionally as a scenic painter for staged productions as well as industry shows.

Please contact me for a copy of my current CV.
