I recently had the pleasure to work with some friends on this project for @megsstalter and @paulwdowns for the 2026 Critics Choice Awards! Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner cosplay 😂 🍊 I made the Chrome Hearts knockoff leather paddle bag Paul wore. It was a super quick turnaround - only a few days - but super fun to do! I also altered a premade bag (added appliqués and such) to go with Meg’s outfit. The 3D printed cross pieces were done by @suppliesrusonline . Scroll through for some in-progress photos… and a screenshot from a Vanity Fair article about these that called us out by name! —- Costume design- Erica D.

Woop, I can post this now! I recently made a new costume for @danny__avidan for the @ninjasexparty tour! It’s been many years but it felt good to make another shiny beast of an outfit for my talented friend. Black heavy double knit, electric blue hologram stretch vinyl, holo foiled stretch velvet for the star emblem and trims, baby holo black sequin spandex for the cape. ✨ #ninjasexparty #dannysexbang #costumedesigner #costumedesign #costume #holographic #stripes

I figured I should put this here, for posterity’s sake! When the idea of making costumes for tv and film was but a gleam in my teenaged eye, I never imagined I’d have something like this hanging on my wall. Thank you @devonpatterson72 @27crossroads and of course @trpcic for letting me play with you in the Star Wars universe and trusting me to help bring some truly iconic costumes to life. 💫 #starwars #ahsoka #specialcostumemanufacturer #specialtycostumer #creativeartsemmys #emmywinner

Hey guys! Wow I’ve been absent… long time no post! I’ve been busy working away in NDA land on a new project, but I suppose I should post about this! We won an Emmy! So much more has been said in much better ways by my fellow crew members, but it was an honor and a joy to be a part of the Ahsoka costume department. Working on a Star Wars production was a career milestone for me, and for the show to win an award for it all was the cherry on top! Everyone involved really put their heart and soul into creating these costumes and it shows. I hope @trpcic is feeling proud, wherever she is. We miss you, Shawna 💐 #starwars #ahsoka #costumedepartment #emmywinner #specialtycostumer

Wooo this post has been a long time coming. 💫 Last year, I got to cross an item off my “work bucket list” when I was called up to join the costume crew for Ahsoka. At first I had no idea what the show was or who it was for (code names and all), but when I saw Lucasfilm on my start paperwork I felt my breath catch in my throat. As usual, I was part of the specialty costumers and I was responsible for a number of the leather goods you see in the show! I worked closely with the talented folks in molding, casting, and painting to bring these items to life. -Sabine’s Mandalorian armor boot spats -Governor Azadi’s vambraces, belt, and boot spats -Young Ahsoka’s boot spats (both red and blue outfits) -It’s unfortunately obscured by fog, but Darth Vader’s new codpiece 😂 -Ahsoka the White’s (lol) vambraces, hand armor and grieves - Other small supporting bits on an assortment of other characters This project was so memorable, and I was so happy to work alongside both familiar faces and new friends. I hope we can all do it again soon 💖 Bonus photos: credits, the PINK Ahsoka Pop gifted to me (everyone got one on the first day of filming but they got me a special all pink one 😭), my crew jacket, and an impromptu group photo of most of the specialty and mold/ cast department!

Long time no post! Things have been slow around here… but on the plus side that means I’ve had a bit more time to noodle around on some personal projects. I finally finished off my own take on Persephone (with a coordinating Hades costume for my partner), and I have to share the lil pomegranate purse I made myself to go with it! I was inspired by Indian lotus potli evening bags, which I thought looked pretty similar to the shape of a pomegranate… and off my brain went! Made from stretch velvet, stiff cotton canvas, silk dupioni for the lining and a whole lot of stitch witchery to fuse all the fabric layers together. Most all of this was hand stitched together! Hopefully I’ll have some photos of the completed costumes to share soon! #persephone #pomegranate #greekmythology #dreadpersephone #costume #costumedesign #noveltypurse

Went to the crew screening of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 last night! It was so rewarding to see all our hard work on the new Guardians uniforms on screen. The movie was excellent! And hey look, a familiar name in the credits! GotG3 comes out tomorrow, go see it! #guardiansofthegalaxyvol3 #gotgvol3 #gotg #marvelstudios #superherocostumes #specialtycostumer

I’m excited to finally be able to post about this! I was part of the team at Marvel that built the new Guardians of the Galaxy uniforms for Vol.3. We built Star-Lord, Drax, Nebula, and Mantis. Check out these cool posters featuring our work! Check it out in theaters next month! 💫 #guardiansofthegalaxy #guardiansofthegalaxyvol3 #gotg3 #marvelstudios #marvel #specialtycostumer #costumer #leatherwork #superherocostume

Long time no post! Being locked up in NDA land makes for a pretty sparse selection of shareable photos lol. Thank you all for sticking with me through my shift from cosplay commissions to film and tv. It means a lot 💕 I went to my first cast & crew screening the other night for Thor: Love and Thunder!⚡️I was on the LA custom made team, and we made the costumes for the Guardians and a few other assorted characters. If you stick around after the movie (you should since there are both mid- and post-credits scenes!) you will see a familiar name listed under the special costume manufacturer section 😙 my first big screen credit! Goooo see it! #thorloveandthunder #thor #marvelstudios #motionpicturecostumers #custommadecostumer #specialtycostumer #specialcostumemanufacturer #guardiansofthegalaxy #supersuit
