"Kristia is determined, detailed, visionary and efficient. The depth and intentionality of the creativity she's able to bring into being never fails to blow me away!
She's not only responsible and professional on a team, she also works with individuals in a way that says "I see you"; taking the time to meet each person where they are in a way that highlights their strengths and personality and helps each one shine uniquely both alone and as a part of the whole.
Kristia is thorough in planning and preparation, but is also very capable at calmly navigating last-minute requests and keeping things running smoothly in the heat of the moment. She's a vibrant addition to any room she enters and I hope to work with her many more times in the future! "

"Kristia Golightly is a phenomenal costumer. Her specificity with each piece that she creates comes together to form a beautiful collection that creates a scene of their own. Not one costume is the same as another, and yet each costume compliments the one next to it. She strives to bring out the best in each actor/actress by paying respect to their character and bring out their personality through their clothing. She is a blessing to any show she has been a part of!"

"Kristia has such a talent for mixing creativity with attention to detail, and it really shows in her work. I’m always in awe of how she envisions costumes, hair, and makeup together so seamlessly into one amazing, cohesive look. Kristia is kind yet assertive in her approach and she has easily won my respect for her craft. "

"Kristia is truly incredible! She has an exceptional eye for color theory and texture, and her designs always feel intentional, cohesive, and visually stunning. Beyond her talent, she is so kind and has a special gift for making people feel comfortable and confident while being costumed.
I’ve had the joy of working with her many times — both as an actress and as part of the artistic design team — and she is an absolute dream collaborator. She listens, communicates clearly, and makes sure everyone is aligned on the overall design concept. Kristia brings creativity, professionalism, and warmth to every project she touches."
