Haley Victoria Peterson was born in Mesa, Arizona in 1991. At age six her family moved to Turkey, where she started public school and became fluent in Turkish. She participated in Turkish folk dance groups for nine years and discovered how movement, music and costume can be combined to tell effective stories. In 2010, Haley attended Arizona State University to study costume design and fiber art. Here she began avidly designing costumes for film, theater and dance, and directed a psych-art film about Joan of Arc, "Cri de Guerre".
Immediately after graduating, Haley won a Fulbright scholarship to study her Masters in Norway at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. With the new energy of a Nordic landscape, she explored her interest in folk costume through a research project about Norway's national costume. Greg Pope, the analogue film professor at the academy, taught her the ins and outs of film in its rawest form. Her 16 mm film "Valkyrje" was shown at the Analogue Recurring Film Festival in London in 2016.
Haley continues to design costumes and direct films featuring culturally complex heroines in Phoenix, Arizona. Her current project is a mytho-political drama set in Alamo era Texas.
