Maricela Alaniz | BFA
Costume Designer
​
Located in San Diego, California
​


I am a Mexican-American costume designer with a passion for bringing stories to life through visual design. I am now pursuing my Master's at the University of California, San Diego. ​
​
​Growing up in two vibrant communities with rich Latino/a/x cultures has had a profound impact on my work, shaping my perspective with a sense of cultural pride and identity. I want to amplify the voices of the Mexican-American community and foster greater representation and visibility within the arts. As I continue to evolve as a designer, I strive to create immersive experiences that not only celebrate diversity but also amplify underrepresented voices, with my work reflecting both my heritage and my commitment to a more inclusive and expressive arts landscape.
