About Me

Name: Angela Thornhill

Location: Ohio

Occupation: Parent (love my girls!), spouse (love that beautiful hubby!), professional tailor, researcher, and writer.

From 1999-2008, I owned a garment shop at one of the largest mid-western Renaissance festivals in the United States. It was a wonderful experience, and it was here that I had the privilege of adding a great deal to my knowledge of garment construction, and in turn used these skills to build a very reputable tailoring business. I love admiring the excellent tailoring work of others – their creativity and ingenuity often amazes me and reminds me that I am never done learning!

Education: BA Broadcast Communications (Otterbein College); MH in Bioethics (Wright State University)

Spiritual Affiliation: Just Jesus...

Interests & Hobbies: Reading, writing, research, genealogy, gardening, history, philosophy (particularly metaethics), bioethical controversies (wrongful life, advance directives, euthanasia, universal medical care, etc.), human and civil rights, God's awesome creation (and God's awesomeness in general), hiking, camping, ecological conservation, fashion history, and costume design and construction.

Guiltless Pleasures: I watch Project Runway religiously (and I adore Tim Gunn) - lol! :) I brew a mean stout beer and grow my own medicinal garden.
