My guest this week is Julia Caston, who has been a costume designer for movies and television for almost 25 years. Her credits include Bad Moms, the Middle, Celeste & Jesse Forever, and Great News.

Julia’s career started when she studied theater, and learned costume design as part of her theater study. Costume design was never really her intended path until she realized that she had an aptitude for it. She began as a PA for another designer who gave her a lot of challenging and thankless tasks, but she worked her way up to a Costume Supervisor, and eventually to a Costume Designer

In this episode, Julia and I talk about the process of character building through costume design, and how the little things are truly what tell the audience about the character, which is Julia’s favorite part of the job.
