Dana Svensson
Costume Design and Construction
I am a costume designer and seamstress fascinated by the way clothing tells a story, both on stage and off. With 8 years of combined experience in costume design and construction, I’ve worked on a variety of community, youth, and college theater productions across a range of genres. Based in Central Minnesota, I am passionate about the impact art and theater have on our community. I love having the opportunity to collaborate with creative people, experiment with new styles and techniques, and see how the different aspects of a production come together to form a whole.
