Elizabeth creates and writes at the intersection of dress, labor and performance. In addition to making theatre, she is the archivist for the Le Gip Archive, a historic clothing collection that preserves the creative production, personal clothing, and ephemera of Byron Le Gip- an African American fashion designer, dancer and drummer active in NYC from 1949-1985. In 2013 Elizabeth co-founded TheatreTruck, an arts collective and organizing tool that makes site-specific and mobile performance from the historical record. Professional and commercial costume design and technology credits include Bard Summerscape Opera, Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet, Barbara Matera, Shakespeare & Co, NetWorks Broadway national tours, Nike, and Henri Bendel.

Teaching credits include Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, UMASS Amherst and Westfield State.
