Hi, I'm Kelly Baker.

I am a Boston Area based Costume Designer with years of experience in the industry. My portfolio features a diverse range of projects, from period dramas to contemporary works, showcasing my versatility and attention to detail. My passion for storytelling through costume design is evident in every project I take on, and my work has been recognized by industry professionals and audiences alike. Explore my portfolio to see how I can bring your vision to life through artistry and expertise.

I began sewing with my Mother, who was a quilter, when I was about five years old. She used to sew at night in the kitchen just outside my bedroom door, and her machine was so loud I used to have to ask her to stop so I could sleep. I followed in my brother's footsteps joining the school musicals growing up, and a passion was born. I was always working on the shows, painting and building sets, creating costumes and props, whatever I could get my hands on. 

​

When it came time for college, I orginally thought I wanted to become a Scenic Designer, and persued a Communications and General Theatre Degree at Bridgewater State University. Thankfully, while having a crisis of faith, I was completing my costume practicum, and a wonderful mentor of mine said "Hey, Dummy, You should be in Costumes, you love this."

 

She was right. 

​

After Graduating with my Bachelor's Degree, I began my career At North Shore Music Theatre on the Wardrobe Crew, eventually becoming Costume Department Head, as well as Designing costumes for multiple theatres in the New England Area, including Lyric Stage Company of Boston, and Theatre By the Sea.

​

I like to approach my work with good humor, collaboration, and open communication. 

​

I love David Bowie, my cat Bilbo, all things Disney, and being a nerd with my husband.
