COSTUME DESIGN

BIO

IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS

Each day, we wake up, get dressed, and express ourselves through clothing. A professional Costume Designer takes this daily task further: to tell a story, reveal character, enhance action, captivate the senses, and ultimately turn the clothing an actor wears into an art form.

From current fashion trends to historical clothing, Matthew is passionate about collaborating with other artists. He produces costumes that breathe life and give depth to his characters.

Matthew graduated with an MFA in Costume Design from the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama. He received a Daytime Costume Design Emmy Nomination in 2017 and a Primetime Costume Design Emmy Nomination in 2022.

Originally from a small town in rural Iowa, Matthew has lived in New York for 20 years.
