About Ori

Ori has long been immersed in the world of performing arts and the creative lifestyle. From an early age their fascination with costume was fostered by their mother at Halloween. Each year got a bit more complex and Ori learned more about sewing until they were making their own costumes and getting commissions from others.

Starting out at a college in Boston, MA, Ori honed their costume design and sewing skills with the help and tutelage of many skilled professors before making the decision to attend NIDA and move to Australia.

In addition to their sewing skills, Ori has experience in prosthetic makeup artistry and stage and screen design. Their passion about bringing characters to life has carried them through their studies and they are excited to jump into the world of film and theatre to help bring these characters to others.
