Drama
Rooms under pressure. Places where memory, grief, class, and consequence become visible.
Position
Not architecture exactly.
A scenic designer does not build the world. They decide which version of the world the story needs us to see.
- Pressure
- Rooms that make behavior visible.
- Memory
- Spaces that carry what happened before the play begins.
- Transformation
- Designs that let the story change in front of us.
Comedy
Spaces tuned for timing: entrances, exits, reversals, hiding places, and social misreadings.
Musical Theatre
Design that can carry rhythm, scale, spectacle, and emotional turn-on-a-dime transformation.
Shakespeare
Old texts reframed through contemporary space, civic pressure, ritual, and bodies in public.
TYA
Clear, generous environments for young audiences: playful enough to invite, precise enough to guide.
Profile
Scenic design from San Diego, with room for the world.
Based in San Diego, I design theatrical spaces that make behavior visible: rooms under pressure, places with memory, and environments that shift as the story changes. The portfolio gathers production environments, renderings, and process work from theatre, academic, and collaborative design practice.
Upcoming Productions
The season ahead.
Rendering + Experiential Design
The same scenic eye, across medium and scale.
Renderings, drawings, installations, and commercial environments carry the same questions as the theatre work: what does the space ask people to notice, feel, remember, or do?
