Tiffany is so excited to be designing for the first time at DCT. She has performed, assisted directed, designed costumes, wigs and makeup for multiple productions in Baltimore since her start in theatre in 2010. She is a graduate of Harford Technical High School where she obtained her cosmetology license and York College of PA where she obtained an BA in Theatre.

Some of her favorite design credits are: Noises Off (Loyola University), Hedwig and the Angry Inch, An Act of God (Iron Crow Theatre), Sueño, La Cage Aux Follies, (Trinity Rep). She would like to dedicate her work to her grandmothers and aunts who she only really knew through fabulous pictures of them enjoying the 60’s. She would also like to thank her best friend Codey for assisting her in this journey. For more information/bookings visit https://tiffanylynnzellner.wixsite.com/wigdesign
