The outcome
Through this experience, I gained a deeper understanding of the collaborative nature of costume design and the importance of visual storytelling in performance. I developed strong research skills by immersing myself in different time periods and cultures, and enhanced my ability to translate scripts into cohesive, character-appropriate looks.

Overall, this project strengthened my confidence in creative styling, team coordination, and the behind-the-scenes work that brings a production to life.
