Having designed over 30 productions in the last 6 years, her most recent work includes Rock and Roll Man (Off-Broadway), White Christmas, The Little Mermaid, & The Wiz (The 5th Avenue Theatre, Seattle), Cinderella, Sweeney Todd, & Rent (Theatre Under the Stars, Houston) and Sister Act & Little Shop of Horrors (The Muny, St. Louis).

She is the first African American female wig designer to work at the Muny, and credits her talent and love of hair to her mother, Clara “Mickey” Wings, who taught her to believe that dreams do come true and all things are possible through God.
