Emil Mendoza (he/they)
Costume Designer

About Me!
I AM . . .
a trans Latine theatre artist based in the DMV area. Raised in Phoenix, Arizona I graduated May 2021 from Arizona State University with my BA in Theatre (Design & Production) with a focus in costuming. I'm currently attending the University of Maryland's Theatre Design MFA program for Costume Design.
​
My long-term mission . . .
is to build my understanding of character design and expansion through the principles of "showing not telling", and to "learn the rules in order to break them". In doing so, I hope to be a worldbuilder and storyteller like so many artists who have come before me.
​
My interests . . .
are reading trans/queer history and theory, Dungeons & Dragons podcasts, and keeping up with my favorite pro hockey teams!
