Miranda Boodheshwar (she/her) is a Guyanese-American costume designer and mixed-media artist based in Brooklyn, NY, who grew up in South Florida.

 

She has been lucky enough to have received her education through Carnegie Mellon's BFA Drama program, as well as The Juilliard School's Professional Apprentice Costume Design Assistant position.

​

She has a passion for social justice and strives to always be the voice at the table who speaks up for those who are unable to. Her aim is to tell stories from a valuable and ethical perspective. Miranda also loves bringing abstract craftwork and non-traditional materials into her work.

 

She is particularly interested in helping the next generation of theatermakers gain access to the industry by breaking down the status quo.  She works part-time as a costume teacher at Saint Ann's School, has worked with Design Action's Springboard to Design program as a facilitator since 2023, and worked as a lead drama ambassador during her time at Carnegie Mellon, with a focus on making the college audition process more equitable and accessible. See her talk about this process here.

 

She worked under Mindy Eshelman as a teaching assistant for Carnegie Mellon's Costume History class and is dedicated to continuing to research and educate on the history of clothing in underrepresented cultures.  She is available for hire as a design research consultant.

​

Miranda is a proud member of USA 829 and Design Action. She is also a board member of Carnegie Mellon's New York Drama Alumni Community.

Upcoming work includes:

MATILDA for Saint Ann's School (Costume Designer)

THE DINOSAURS for Playwrights Horizons (Assistant Costume Designer)​
