Janelle L. Smith
Costume Designer
ABOUT the ARTIST

I am a freelance costume designer and wardrobe technician, as well as a visual artist from Grand Rapids, MI and currently living in the greater Chicago area.
As a designer, I believe it is my duty to represent characters that garner empathy and produce creative energy that advocates for underrepresented voices. I commit to using my experiences to educate, empower, and inform audiences about current social justice issues that impact our communities.
