Zoë Trautmann is a detail-oriented costume designer with an MFA in Costume Design from University of California, San Diego. She explores the human condition and storytelling through costume, particularly in period pieces. With a special interest in subverting gendered expectations and empowering female and gender queer characters, Trautmann’s work reflects her unique perspective as a queer, autistic woman. She aims to speak truth to the intangibly familiar experiences of those who have felt different.
