Michelle Green 

For Michelle A. Green, Costume Design has never been simply about dressing an actor. It's about discovering the human being beneath the clothing and bringing that person to life.

 

With more than twenty years of experience in film, television, and theatre, Michelle has built a career around her love of storytelling, character development, and the beautiful complexity of human identity. Her work includes Netflix's 13 Reasons Why, OWN's Queen Sugar, Apple TV+'s Home Before Dark, AMC's Parish, and The CW's Valor.

 

At heart, Michelle is a storyteller, and clothing is her language. A perfectly tailored suit, a worn pair of shoes, an unexpected handbag, funny socks, or a simple T-shirt can reveal something about a character that words never could. Every garment, texture, color, and accessory offers another opportunity to explore who someone is, where they've been, and what they might be hiding.

 

What Michelle loves most is the collaboration. Working alongside directors, actors, writers, and fellow artists to transform words on a page into living, breathing individuals is both a creative challenge and a privilege. There is something extraordinary about watching all those separate creative voices come together to build a world that feels real.

 

A graduate of Syracuse University, Michelle is also a founding member, former Treasurer, and continuing board member of the International Society of Black Costume Designers, where she created "Talk Tuesday" an ongoing forum for conversation, connection, and community within the industry.

 

For Michelle, the greatest reward isn't simply seeing a beautiful costume on screen. It's seeing a character come alive and knowing that every choice, down to the smallest detail, helped tell their story
