Kaitlyn Kaufman is a Southern California based Costume Designer and Educator.  She graduated from U.C. Irvine with her M.F.A and has been relentlessly pursuing the incredible art of storytelling through clothing and theatre ever since.  Some of her favorite design challenges are productions that combine modern textures and pieces with historical silhouettes to create new and interesting mediums for audiences to enjoy. When not designing, she is currently passing on her love and knowledge of Costume Design as part of the faculty at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising and Cal State Los Angeles.
