Belfast native Catherine George (Costume Designer) initially studied fashion before going on to design in London. She began her career in film on Jim Sheridan's The Boxer, which was co-written by her brother Terry.

Ms. George went on to work as wardrobe supervisor on In America, again for Jim Sheridan; the "Cousins" segment of Jim Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes, with Cate Blanchett in a dual role; and Jon Favreau's Elf.

As assistant costume designer, her credits include Zach Braff's Garden State; Dan Harris' Imaginary Heroes; and, Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini's The Nanny Diairies.

She made her costume-designing debut with Yale Strom's musical drama On the Q.T. She has since designed the costumes for Katherine Dieckmann's Diggers; Lodge Kerrigan's award-winning Keane; Peter Mattei's Love in the Time of Money; and Amos Kollek's Angela.

Ms. George's current project as costume designer is Clark Gregg's Choke, based upon the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, starring Sam Rockwell and Anjelica Huston.
