Kyla Jernigan Design and Production Portfolio

In the spring of 2023 I was assistant costume designer to Jessica Richardson on ETSU's production of Little Shop of Horrors. I was assigned the three Ronettes as shown below.

During this production I also focused on distress work and airbrushing. I airbrushed and detailed the plant heads for the finale, distressed Seymour's shoes, and bloodied the Dentist's jacket.

In the spring of 2025 I was the costume designer for The Wolves, a play about a high school girls soccer team. I was limited by only having a month to design and produce, but I ended up under budget and ahead of schedule.

In Costume Design taught by Professor Jonathon Taylor in the spring of 2024, we were assigned to design and render for the play Detroit 67. For this project I challenged myself and taught myself how to render digitally.

And both before and after my experience in the costume department I have crafted my own cosplays and costumes for closet shows

MakeUp

SET DESIGN

In both Rendering and Drafting and Scenic Design I learned how to use the software Vectorworks

In Scenic Design we were assigned the show Clue and we had to create a white model of the entire set and a color model of one the rooms. I chose to do a two story set with the kitchen as my color model element.

We also had to present on our color schemes and design inspiration which I showed through power point slides

In Design Basics we designed a bar set for the play Sweat. I designed a rotating stage and built a white model, created a color palette, and made renderings board for the presentation

LIGHTING DESIGN

In Lighting Design we were assigned to work with student directors to design lights for 10 minute plays. I designed lighting for the play call Most Wonderful which takes place in a sad apartment
