Katy Humphrey
Katy Humphrey is a New York based costume designer. Katy has always had a passion for costumes and clothing as a means of self expression. She has a background in performing arts in ballet and theater, which she uses to inform her costume decisions and sparked her love for creating characters. She sees costume design as an integral part of character building and as one of the most visual ways to express a character’s mindset.
In 2024, Katy earned a BFA in Production Design with a concentration in costume design from the Savannah College of Art and Design. While in school, she had the opportunity to collaborate with other students across different majors on film and fashion projects. During her senior year of college, she was hired as the costume supervisor for The Historic Savanah Theater, letting her explore both film and theater during this time.
Katy has a love for every aspect of costume design, from garment construction to character breakdowns and spreadsheets. As a daughter of a playwright and data analyst, she uses skills learned from both parents in her current work.
Moving forward in her career, Katy hopes to work in black and queer media. As a black lesbian, she believes in the importance of representation on the screen, stage and behind the scenes. Additionally, she has a love for sustainability in fashion. As an avid thrifter in her real life, Katy hopes to bring more environmentally conscious practices to the world of costumes.
