Hi, I’m Cate.

  • Born and raised in Southern Maryland, near Solomons Island-in between the Chesapeake Bay and Patuxent River
  • Grew up playing Soccer, Lacrosse, and Basketball while riding horses, sailing, writing, snowboarding, and wakeboarding during the summers.
  • Went to college in New York (The Bronx) then to NC State in Raleigh, NC graduating with a BS in Textile and Apparel Management
  • Internships at Jane Magazine (NYC) and Moschino (London)
  • Started in Network TV as a Costume Assistant which led to becoming a Costumer->Assistant Costume Designer->Designer

As Assistant Costume Designer on S1 of Netflix’s “Mindhunter,” I gained invaluable experience working under Jennifer Starzyk for David Fincher.

Fall of 2021 through the Spring of 2022 led me to leading teams in 3 different countries (USA, France, Dominican Republic), which included 5 cities (Paris-Santo Domingo-New Orleans-Chicago-Los Angeles), as the Costume Designer for Fincher’s “The Killer.” (Netflix-Feature)

Looking forward to the release of “The Killer,” in November of 2023.

My passions include research, history, current trends, music, traveling, sports, creating characters, and gaining knowledge through experience with a positive attitude. Currently living in Los Angeles, have references; will travel:)
