Chloé learned how to sew at a very young age while living on a military base in Kaiserslautern, Germany where they offered knitting, sewing, and pottery classes along with various other options. As a young child she gravitated towards making and creating patterns for pillows for her love ones as a hobby. In her teen years Chloé took interest and worked in the pageant and formal wear industry where she learn how to hem, pin, and measure for full suits, consult with different clients to chose evening wear, etc.
Ultimately it wasn't until Chloé's junior year of undergrad where she began to alter the trajectory of her journey by entering the film and television industry as an costume intern where she was compensated via $50 of gas weekly and years of knowledge. :-) Through her senior year of college she eagerly interned within the industry. Meeting and working with anyone who would train her. The day after graduation Chloé landed her first gig as a paid production assistant within the costume department for a film and television.
From there Chloé worked her way up from a production assistant to a Background Costumer, Set Costumer, Truck Costumer, Key Costumer, to joining the Costume Designers Guild 892 as Assistant Costume Designer, on to Costume Designer.

"When you are able to take a story, conceptualize a character, take in their facts, subtle hints about their personality, and translate them into a brilliant piece of art through the textures and colors of their clothing it translates your design through an artistic lens to your audience."
