ABOUT

Hello and welcome! My name is Leah Hummel (they/she).

I am an Austin, Texas-based costume & crafts educator, designer and maker with a BFA in Theatre Design & Technology from Western Michigan University and an MFA in Live Design at University of Texas at Austin. In addition to costume and props design, I have 8+ years of experience as a teaching artist and accessibility aide. I believe that inclusive education is the future of our art form and of a more communal, supportive society.

In my (somewhat limited) free time I enjoy performing in drag, making cosplays, attempting to teach myself to bake, playing with my beautiful fat cat, seeking out tourist traps along highways and organizing my remarkably large earring and shoe collection.
