Leigh Davis is a costume designer, seamstress, artist and performer based in the Hudson Valley. She is excited to be returning to the Vassar Community. Leigh began sewing at a young age by teaching herself through books. She quickly found a love for cosplay, which is a passion she continues to indulge today. She went on to obtain a degree in theater from SUNY Potsdam. Having worked in both film and theater, her work has spanned everything from vampire thrillers to sci-fi jukebox musicals. Her latest costume design work includes House of Darkness directed by Neil Labute, a suspenseful feature film. As well as surrealist music videos Butterflies and Guitars Are Better Than Synthesizers by Alex Toth. With a background in fine arts, she views costume as its own form of art that is integral to storytelling. She looks forward to diving head first back into her first love, theater, in the very place where she got her first professional costume shop experience.
