About
I am Alexa Rae O'Neill, a Brooklyn-based costume designer with over 13 years of expertise in costume design and wardrobe styling. I bring a diverse and dynamic approach to my work, drawing inspiration from color psychology and real-life narratives.
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design from Moore College of Art & Design, where I developed my foundational skills and cultivated a deeper understanding of the artistry behind fashion and costume design. I am also a proud member of IATSE United Scenic Artists Local 829 in the Costume Design and Wardrobe Styling categories.
I specialize in 20th-century period piece designs, and my expertise extends to high fashion as well. My goal is to create visually compelling and emotionally resonant designs that enhance the narrative of every project, as clothing and costume design are just as important as lighting or cinematography. All convey meaning through visuals and all deserve the same amount of respect and commitment.
In addition to my formal design work, I am passionate about painting, gardening, baking, my cat, hardcore punk, and working to improve both the community I live in and the world at large.
