Ana Belen Cobos previously graduated from Texas State University with a BFA in Theatre Production. There she was introduced to the world of costume making and grew eager to expand her knowledge and skills. She went on to pursue an MFA in Costume Production at Carnegie Mellon University. Her strengths are in pattern making, tailoring, draping, textile manipulation, and sculptural crafts.
She leads with empathy, determination, and an unshakable work ethic. There are many places she calls "home" including Bolivia, Houston, Santa Fe, late nights in the shop with the best of people around, and tech nights at a theater on a show that is universally a joy to work on. Up until recently, Pittsburgh was home and now Kansas City is the new candidate as she will be working at the theatre conservatory at UMKC as Costume Shop Supervisor.
