To craft costumes for movies,
I build characters from the inside out—through fabric, texture, and silhouette, translating memory, desire, and tension into form.
Designing for film is like constructing emotional architecture. Every choice is deliberate, rooted in story, psychology, and the poetry within the narrative the director seeks to tell.
Costume Design
My process for costume designing,
begins with expressive, handmade sketches—fluid silhouettes that capture the spirit of a character. From there, I shape and refine the vision, moving toward detailed, mixed-media renderings that reflect the exact materials, textures, and light, infused by meticulous historical research.
It’s a journey from gesture to garment, where storytelling is woven into every layer.

“PERSEPHONE” a short film by E. Elias Merhige
A visual poem shot by American screenwriter, film & theater director E. Elias Merhige
(“BEGOTTEN”, “Shadow of the Vampire”, “Suspect Zero”)
Persephone —she is the tremor between worlds, the breath caught between bloom and decay. Her beauty is not soft; it wounds. The darkness that devoured her, became her throne.
Taken and Crowned in the underworld she is the flowering of power in the soil of sorrow.
