I always enjoy hearing about the design process for costumes. It’s such a tall ask to embody an entire character in an outfit. Like sure it may be for a scene or two if it’s a movie/show and though it may end up being one for a play, I don’t think scale matters. There is still a lot of research, care, and hard work poured into every outfit created. I think it’s interesting comparing this person’s story to a lot of others I have heard. It seems like people end up in costumes, and I think that is an oddly fitting pattern with not only other costume people but also other people in the industry. I don’t think any of us envisioned being where we are right now, we kind of just ended up here and rolled with it. I know a lot of people who got into acting first before going into design, for example.
