About

My work is about finding perspective.

Theatre invites the audience to consider the world from a new, unfamiliar perspective in the hopes that it might change the way they see the everyday. This drives everything we do.

I often create grand, sculptural scenery that can shed new light on an old story. I also love to use everyday materials and objects to create scenic elements, inviting the audience to relate to them in a different way. Much of my work is inspired by music; sound has a kinesthetic way of reaching an audience, and I strive to complement this strength in my scenery and lighting.

And of course, theatre is a team sport. I’m a strong believer that the best shows are created when collaboration wins out over ego. I find that my job is to listen carefully to my team of creatives, to comprehend our unique, shared perspective, and then to make it happen.
