Liz Klemenz graduated Cum Laude from the University of Cincinnati's School of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning in April 2023 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Fashion Design. In addition to her degree, she obtained a year's worth of professional fashion industry experience through participation in the University of Cincinnati's Professional Practice
Co-operative Education Program, where she alternated semesters of classroom study with work in design.

Her postgraduate work took her to Floyd Central High School in New Albany, Indiana, where she was the costume designer for their Fall Production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. From there, she has been working in the costume department for the Louisville Ballet, the official ballet company of Kentucky. She has made alterations and done vital work on costumes for productions, including but not limited to The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet,
Cinderella, and Swan Lake. Liz has also been featured as a designer, where she made and modeled her own original works in 2018, 2021, 2022, and 2025 for KMAC Couture: Art Walks the Runway. This is the signature wearable art runway fundraiser for the Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft Contemporary Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky.

Liz is currently preparing to apply to law school with the hope of becoming a copyright attorney so she can pursue her passion for advocating for other artists in the entertainment industry. In her free time, she enjoys playing video games and hanging out with her friends from the Louisville Ballet.
