Fashion and Costume Designer
My name is Emily Baul and I’ll be graduating in May 2026 from Louisiana State University in Textiles, Apparel Design, and Merchandising with a focus in Apparel Design. I have experience in sewing, draping, pattern making, tech pack creation, couture embellishment techniques, Clo3D, CAD, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, trend forecasting, and with Shima Seiki Computer Program.
I have been trained in vast styles of dance since the age of two including the Russian Vaganova Ballet method, Pointe, Contemporary, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Acro, Heels, Modern, Fosse style, and Musical Theatre. I’ve gone to Summer Intenstive Programs at the American Ballet Theatre (ABT) in New York City and Alabama, and New Orleans Ballet Association (NOBA) in New Orleans, and was accepted into the Summer Intensive Programs at the Bolshoi Ballet, Sarasota Ballet, and Joffery Ballet. I transitioned into the world of competitive dance for 5 years where I would help rhinestone and alter my costumes.
I believe my background in dance has taught me incredible discipline, time management, and a thirst for excellence and growth, which I want to apply to the creation of costumes for theater/ dance/ film wardrobe. I also believe that my experience as a dancer helps in designing and understanding the necessary functionality of performance garments. When I’m not designing and sewing you can find me binge watching 90’s tv, doing yoga, hanging out with my cat, or practicing my French!
