Many years of creative occupations, and an artistic family, prepare Dutra for the painstaking task of historical costume and set recreations.

Her career began at the famed design agency of Raymond Loewy/William Snaith, Inc., where she designed department store interiors. Similarly, Dutra was in charge of decorating interior home displays for Sears, Roebuck & Co., including a model home located in Johnson City, NY. She has also made a career over the years in clothing design for babies, children, adults, and brides.

Most recently, Dutra served as a production assistant on Jonamac Production's film Leisurama. She also serves as a production assistant on the film Desert Utopia: Mid-Century Architecture in Palm Springs.

When time allows she enjoys drawing and oil painting.
