would like to present today’s Hispanic Heritage Month highlight Mirin “Midi” Soliz!

“My journey began in the local theatre in Corpus Christi Texas as an actor performer, but paid the bills working as a wedding designer assistant, I also booked and promoted punk rock music, even had a music label in my early 20’s. I quickly transitioned to the big theatre learning the full in and outs of running a sound board and designing lights for major shows. I toured as a lighting design assistant for a show called The Bear in the Big Blue House when I found myself with the kids in the costume department a lot of the time, my experience with wedding gowns had my hands mending, building and more, which made me rethink my career. I was union by this point and attended all my union meetings where I met the BM for 484. I talked about my desire to work more in costumes, tada, I landed at Troublemaker Studios, fully taking it all in, learning everything from the ground up, starting as a stitcher. I’ve since become a guilded Costume Designer. Designing is my life!!! I also design fashion and find myself in all areas of entertainment; film, live music, tours, commercials, stills, music videos, etc. with a 35 year career in the rear view, still hustling.
