A passionate desire to transcend the mundane
Brenda truly loves to Design. She experiences great joy in painting pictures with her costumes and having them realized within the frame of a camera lens. She fully believes in the magic of collaborative process: connecting with and embracing the Director’s vision, achieving synchronicity with the Production Designer and the DOP and then creating a costume that serves their needs as well as aiding the Actor in the development of his/her character.
