ABOUT Emily

She/They

I’m Emily Lane, a costume designer and shop manager with 15 years of theatre experience. I began performing and working backstage in 2010, and discovered my passion for costume design as a teenager. Since then, I’ve designed productions ranging from intimate plays to large scale musicals, balancing storytelling and craft. From aging garments for realism to engineering quick changes and creating 3D-printed specialty builds.

I currently serve as Costume Shop Manager at Diamond Head Theatre and design independently across O‘ahu. In 2023, I was honored with the BroadwayWorld Hawai‘i Award for Best Costume Design for Mamma Mia!.

At the heart of my work is a belief that costumes are living expressions of character and story. Whether shaping period realism, creating spectacle, or solving technical challenges, I thrive on turning imagination into reality.
