With my son. ​
I am a Manhattan based Scenic Designer and visual storyteller for the entertainment industry. I am passionate about the power of a story to shape our understanding of the world we live in. 

As an artist, I am focused on experiential atmospheres. I'm interested in “places” built by the relationship between audience and performer that can only exist in performance-time. 


I have worked professionally in both NYC and regional theaters across America. I have a multi-discipline background with experience in theatre performance, film, interior design and architectural arts.
