Could we BE more glamorous?!!! NO. We simply cannot. Stop asking. Team #StrangeNewWorlds won a brand-spanking-new @caftcad Award for Best Costume Design in TV: Sci-Fi - Fantasy! So fortunate to call the gorgeously glittery CD @berncroft our fearless leader! 🥰 @iatse873 #startrek #costumedepartment #costumedesign

Meet #LuraThok! My new favourite Star Trek character! @ginayashere , that you managed SO many hilarious facial expressions under what looks like 5 lbs of prosthetic makeup is a huge credit to your comedic genius (and our incredible @iatse873 makeup team ⭐️) ❤️ Thank you @averyplewes & @gershaphillips Costume Designers/Magic-Makers, for giving me this character to illustrate! #startrek #startrekacademy #costumedesign #costumeillustration

Oh heyyy! I'm completing 2,000 push-ups in 23 days to raise awareness and funds for the Canadian Mental Health Association! Here’s why… ** Advance warning: this post deals with serious mental health issues ** Mental health has been at the forefront of my entire life. I lost a father to suicide, had my first major depression at 21, and have watched beautiful, funny, smart friends struggle with their own mental health. In 2017 I finally faced my own 30 year battle with bulimia and the many layers of trauma that eating disorders "camouflage." I am so grateful to my excellent therapist and everyone who works in the field of mental health. Please support me as I #pushforbetter from February 5-27! *Donation Link above in my profile ❤️ Donations are tax-deductible and all proceeds help the Canadian Mental Health Association to support mental illness recovery and foster positive mental health in Canada ❤️ Or join our team! Do 2000 push-ups with us!

Big congrats to Costume Designer @gershaphillips for her @caftcadawards nomination for gorgeous work on Star Trek Section 31! Ok, so…die-hard Star Trek fans, yes, maybe the actual movie turned out not sooooo great, BUT the costumes were top-notch as always, thanks to Gersha’s very cool aesthetic and attention to detail 🤩 Here are a few concepts I worked on of actor @kaceykadoodles as Lt Rachel Garrett…her character closet spanned Federation Uniforms, to Sec 31 tactical wear, to my personal fave, glitzy undercover Clubwear! Never mad at when we get to do some colour and bling in the Star Trek universe ❤️ #startrek #startreksection31 #costumeillustration #conceptart #costumedesign

Another #Murderbot favourite! Here’s Ratthi, played perfectly by Akshay Khanna. Ratthi and his team members are described as “hippie” types, so Costume designer @carrieninja put a lot of attention into thinking about how each character might individualize their company uniform. Ratthi is obviously the (handsome) artist of the group, with his hand painted symbols, embroidery and quirky jewelry :) #akshaykhanna #Ratthi #murderbotdiaries @appletv #costumedesign #conceptartist #scifi

In case you’re wondering why Alexander Skarsgard looks like a toddler who’s outgrown his onesie, you’re just gonna have to watch #Murderbot on @appletv :) Just burned through the first 3 episodes and it’s GREAT! I am SO stoked to have worked on a show that I would watch, even if I hadn’t been an employee, lolol Costume Designer @carrieninja really killed it on the Sec Unit uniforms…they looked so good on screen!! Loved all the pops of orange and they gelled so well with the overall production design🔥 This was honestly one of the most fun, chill jobs I’ve ever had. Carrie had a really clear vision for these and was so hilarious, kind and cool to work for…my favourite kind of person! Thank you @carrieninja ! ❤️ #alexanderskarsgård #costumedesign #costumeillustration #murderbotdiaries #costumeconceptart
