Lara is a storyteller at heart, and costume is her language.
Her journey began on stage as an actor after graduating from George Brown Theatre School, but it was behind the scenes—where fabric meets character—that she truly found her calling. Immersing herself in the production world from the ground up, Lara worked her way through departments until wardrobe pulled her in for good.
Now a dedicated stylist and costume designer, Lara brings her intuitive eye and narrative flair to a wide range of projects—from national commercials to character-driven indie films. She’s a proud permittee of both IATSE and NABET, with years of experience dressing for docu-dramas, competition shows, and scripted series.
Lara’s creative playground is independent film, where she embraces full creative control and lets her imagination roam. Her work on Liam and May earned her the 2020 CAFTCAD Award for Best Costume Design in a Short Film.
She believes in the power of detail—that the smallest stitch can transform a performance, and the right look can tell a story before a single line is spoken. Every set, every fitting, every fabric swatch is part of a constantly evolving artistic adventure.
Lara is currently based in Toronto, styling for commercial campaigns and always chasing the next creative spark.
