I am a creative designer with 15+ years of experience, producing visual stories from small, intimate settings to large, imaginative productions. I am a designer and educator who believes in the power of collaboration with good people to reach the best results for every project. I am adept at meeting project needs, visualizing creative ideas and managing creative people. I have a solid foundation in the design process, color theory, theatrical design, architecture and all aspects of visual storytelling.

As a visual storyteller, I have designed, developed and produced a multitude of award-winning productions with creative content in collaboration with directors, playwrights, and the production team. With each production, I create concept art, either as hand drawings, digital drawings, or models, to use as a visual discourse to illustrate the final look of the production. The concept art is accompanied with research and inspiration to assist in furthering the design and visual direction of the production. After the final design and visual direction is established, I translate concept art into the final production documents. Finally, I continue to maintain the visual direction on behalf of the director and the design team through active involvement in the execution of the design. Throughout the process, you will find me participating in additional duties such as scenic painting, set dressing, props, electrics and projections, depending on the needs of the production.
