Scene Ripper
Southeastern Michigan
Scene Ripper is the culmination of being a third generation seamstress, my love of theatre from a young age and a passion for all things geeky. After graduating from Savannah College of Art & Design with a BFA in Performing and Fashion, I dabbled in the theatre world as a costume designer. But what I’m really drawn to is creating my own designs, for myself as well as others.
I refuse to design based on runway trends. I am inspired by comic books, horror, sci-fi and fantasy media, historical costume, glam rock, punk rock and Mods – among other things. I believe in having fun with my fun. Embrace your inner weirdo. Break your mold.
