Her work earned her three Emmy nominations. In addition, she designed dozens of stage productions in Los Angeles, New York, and Las Vegas. Since her move to Las Vegas in 2008, she has taught costume design at UNLV for both the Theater and Film Departments and designed several locally produced films and stage productions.
