About

Hi, I’m Bee Abel, a costume and fashion designer focused on character-driven wardrobe for film, theatre, and indie projects. I design and fabricate original costumes, coordinate with departments to ensure continuity on set, and thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments.

I trained at the Portland Fashion Institute, exploring garment construction, textiles, pattern making, embroidery, and digital design using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I value sustainable sourcing and accessibility in fashion. I also find it very rewarding to work in collaboration with a team to bring a shared creative vision to life. Mixing different ideas, perspectives, and artforms is something that is really important to me. I am self motivated with a solid work ethic and have a deep love for theater & performing arts.
