Genevieve McCormick Designs

Genevieve McCormick (They/ Them) is a New York based Costume Designer and native North Carolinian. They hold a BFA in Painting and Drawing with a minor in Theater Production with an emphasis in Costume Design from East Carolina University and an MFA in Costume Design from NYU Tisch.

Their work as an artist is heavily influenced by nature, exploring a character’s psychological state, exposing violence through storytelling, and the sleep paralysis demon in their bedroom corner.

Genevieve’s passion for costuming began when their grandmother taught them how to sew around the age of 7 and they began creating their own clothing and costumes from thrifted bedsheets and curtains. As a classically trained painter, finding costume design allowed Genevieve to merge both their passion for creating and sewing into a more expansive form of storytelling.

When not found painting on their bedroom floor covered in oil paint, Genevieve can be found reading books typically in the Horror or Fantasy genre, though recently Sci-Fi books have managed to make it into the reading rotation, creating textiles through various techniques, or playing an ongoing Dungeons and Dragons campaign.
