Dustin Cross Part 2 ”Cultivating Collaboration”

Dustin Cross (dustincrossdesigns.com) is a New York based designer who has  been designing on and off Broadway and regionally for the last 10 years.  His designs have received accolades such as “...Spot on Perfect” by Artes Magazine and “Excellent!” by The New York Times as well as other nods from many different publications.  Cross who began his career on the stage transitioned into costuming after realizing that actor’s and dancer’s needs often weren’t a designer’s main focus.  All of Dustin’s designs pay close attention to making the actor comfortable while meeting the needs of the piece.  Carnegie Hall, The American Airlines Theater, The Westside Theater and The Ogunquit Playhouse are just a few of the venues that have showcased Cross’s work.  Dustin continues to focus on maintaining the expectation his work commands while always trying to raise the bar by using different techniques and  approaches to making a durable yet distinct design.
