Celeste Pinder (she/her) holds a BA in Fashion/Apparel Design from Ryerson [Toronto Metropolitan] University. She has been designing and sewing garments for over 30 years. Her love of illustrations, textiles and decoration started with drawings of her mother in princess dresses and her design philosophies, and construction skills have evolved over the years.

She spent 14 seasons lavishing in period costuming at Regina's Globe Theatre working her way up from Stitcher to Cutter to Head of Wardrobe from 2017 – 2022. Celeste's 20-year theatre & film career can only be complemented by her exceptional skills as a freelance designer, sewing instructor and costume technician, where she brings characters to life with clarity, professionalism, and creative precision.
