Let's Talk About...Olivia Mason

Dance Opens Doors… and Olivia Mason walked right through.
From childhood sewing sessions with her mom to designing for world-class stages, Olivia’s story is stitched with passion, resilience, and creativity.

In this episode of the Tutu Artists Studio Podcast, we follow Olivia Mason’s inspiring path—from costuming high school musicals to selling her first leotards in college, and eventually working on the world premiere of Sleeping Beauty at Pacific Northwest Ballet under the legendary Paul Tazewell’s designs.

Listen in as Olivia shares her evolution from dancer to costume technician, to Draper—and the beauty of finding your calling where you least expect it.

Because sometimes…
