About
Nay is a senior at the Academy of Art University in San Fransico, studding for their BFA in Costume Design. Nay has worked in all areas of the theater, from acting, to stage craft, special effects, and costumes. This broadened their understanding of the theater world and has helped them fully understand the design process. Nay has been in the theater industry for 15 years. Their first production as a wardrobing assistant was "Legally Blonde" in 2015. Since then, Nay has worked on multiple productions as both a wardrobe assistant and second designer.Nay’s inspiration comes from their love of historical fashion and bringing it into a modern setting. They believe that just like fashion, costumes evolve while paying tribute to their foundations.
This was a student design project that focused on breaking down a script and creating sketches and renders to show my understanding of the script and culture that the story was based around. While these designs were never created, they were used to show my lead designer my understanding of each individual character within the story and my though process behind the constraints of a production where the actor's never leave the stage.
