JEVYN NELMS
Costume Designer
All About Me
I am the quintessential artsy-craftsy person. Think "Etsy" before there was an Etsy. I taught myself to sew, knit, crochet, weave and make jewelry. I ate, drank and breathed fashion with the hope of becoming a fashion designer. I took tons of art classes at every art school in Boston.
However, it wasn’t until I moved to New York and attended the Fashion Institute of Technology, that I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. It was there that I began my career in costume design.
To date, I have designed features, shorts, commercials, web series, and plays. A web series I designed, "Brooklyn Sound," won a Streamy, was nominated for a Webby, and won three awards in the 2016 New York Television Festival.
I have worked with such notable actors as Matt Damon, Diane Lane, Dakota Fanning, Frankie Faison, and Hill Harper.
