Hi, I’m Alexa Peterson, a theater designer and wardrobe enthusiast currently pursuing a BFA in Theater Design and Technology at Emerson College. I love collaborating with directors, designers, and actors to bring characters to life through thoughtful costume and wardrobe work. I thrive in fast-paced stage environments, enjoy fittings, sewing, and alterations, and am passionate about telling stories through design. During my time at Emerson College and in student films, I’ve built hands-on experience across costume shop operations, sewing, patterning, and wardrobe management for stage productions. I’m eager to continue growing as a costume designer and wardrobe professional and to contribute to creative teams with reliability, creativity, and a positive attitude.
