My guest this week is Costume Designer, Mitchell Travers, who has worked on Hustlers, Late Night, In the Heights, and more!! As a child, Mitchell had an insatiable appetite for creativity. With the encouragement and support of his mother, he enrolled in as many arts programs as possible, created his own halloween costumes, and more. His mother took him to see theater performances and he would beg her to sit as close as possible so he could see all the details and soak in every aspect of the production and design. Since he wasn’t allowed to use the sewing machine, he would stable the fabrics together in a way that mimicked how his mom would sew. Mitchell went on to college (earning a degree in puppetry… imagine that?) and climbed the production ladder rung by rung, working his way up from the very bottom to costume designer.

In this episode, Mitchell talks about his career in production and the transition from assistant to designer, the importance of putting together a solid team, his fittings processes, jewelry, social media, and more!
