About Carla Traughber
Education
I earned a Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design from Brigham Young University in Idaho and a Master's Degree in Fine Arts from The University of Lethbridge, specializing in CAD and costume design. This dual expertise allows me to seamlessly merge artistic vision with technical precision in my work. Join me in exploring the fusion of art and technology in the realm of design and craftsmanship.
Work Experience
With over 25 years of experience as an independent contractor, I have worked as a seamstress and designer in Salt Lake City, Boise, Calgary, and Edinburg, Texas. My recent roles with Venustas Bridal and Carnival Cruise Lines broadened my professional range, and I also taught and managed the Costume Shop at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, overseeing productions and mentoring students. In addition, I continue to support community theatre annually through costume design and construction. These varied experiences have refined my technical skills and deepened my appreciation for the artistry of fashion and costume design.
