Miranda Boodheshwar (she/her) is a Guyanese-American costume designer and mixed-media artist 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 worked with Design Action and The American Theater Wing's 2023 Springboard to Design program as a facilitator, 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.

​

Recent works include: L'ENFANT ET LES SORTILÈGES for Music Academy of the West (Costume Designer), THE SECRET SIDE and MIDDLE SCHOOL DANCE CONCERT for Saint Ann's School (Costume Designer), THE CONNECTOR for Manhattan Classic Company (Assistant Costume Designer), SABBATH'S THEATER for The New Group (Associate Costume Designer), CRUZAR LA CARA DE LA LUNA for Minnesota Opera (Associate Costume Designer), and A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S CIRCUS for Circus Smirkus (Associate Costume Designer).
