Every other year, New Times puts the spotlight on Phoenix's creative forces — painters, dancers, designers, and actors. Leading up to the release of Best of Phoenix, we're taking a closer look at 100 more. Welcome to the 2016 edition of 100 Creatives. Up today is 5. Kathleen Trott.

The thing that I really love about costuming is that I get to use lots of different skills, including research, an eye for color, understanding people and organization, and a knowledge and love of history, and combine them with lots of other artists to create something that is vibrant, moving, and greater than anything I could have created by myself.
