1. I love knitting. Especially cable-knit sweaters ’cause they look so impressive!
2. My favorite movie is the original Fame. Its depiction of the young struggling artist is real and raw, and I love the grittiness of NYC in 1980.
3. I’ve seen Hamilton three times and I cry every time. The creativity that went into that overwhelms me. 4. I love chinoiserie design in interior spaces as well as fabric and clothing.
5. Campfires are my favorite smell. I adore the smokiness it leaves on my clothes.
6. I trained as a ballet dancer from ages 9 to 19.
7. The first musical I was in: Bye Bye Birdie as a chorus member, in Twin Falls, Idaho.
8. The last musical: Stephen Sondheim’s Company at Lincoln Center in New York.
9. I’m not on social media.
