Sophie Fougere is a Costume and Scenic Designer. She is a graduate of the Theater Design and Production program with a concentration in scenic and costume design and Masters of Business Management graduate at the University of British Columbia. 

 

Since then, Sophie has expanded her knowledge of theater production and worked on scenic paintings, props constructions, lighting hangs and focuses and has found a strong passion in costume and scenic design. Sophie has been involved in multiple theatrical productions at The 5th Avenue Theater in Downtown Seattle and UBC working on costume construction and creation. Additionally, Sophie has jumped into the film world as the costume designer for an independent student film produced in April 2022. 

 

Sophie believes that theater lets her express herself in non-traditional ways and voice opinions that otherwise would not be heard. Sophie also hopes to use her theater and design as a way to promote positive change in the world, believing that art is the most humane form of expression, as it promotes individuality, inclusivity, and helps people find who they are. She feels especially inspired by art that helps promote social change and believes that art is perhaps the most effective vehicle in doing so.
