Brandon PT Davis is a scenic designer whose work explores how space, architecture, and visual storytelling shape the experience of live performance. His designs are grounded in research, collaboration, and the belief that scenery should do more than create a setting—it should reveal character, clarify dramatic action, and give performers a world that evolves with the story. His portfolio spans dramas, comedies, Shakespeare, musicals, and new work for regional theatres, festivals, and universities across the United States.
Professional collaborations include South Coast Repertory, Maples Repertory Theatre, Theatre SilCo, New Swan Shakespeare Festival, Okoboji Summer Theatre, the University of Missouri, and numerous academic and professional productions. Beyond the stage, Brandon spent several years as a designer and Senior Scenic & Experiential Designer at Adaptive Design Services, where he developed environments for live events, branded experiences, and immersive installations. That work expanded his practice into architectural visualization, digital rendering, fabrication workflows, and large-scale experiential design, perspectives that continue to inform his theatrical work.
Alongside his professional practice, Brandon is a Lecturer in the School of Theatre, Television, and Film at San Diego State University. He has previously taught at the University of California, Irvine, the University of Texas at El Paso, and Stephens College, mentoring emerging designers in scenic design, rendering, drafting, digital visualization, and collaborative production. His teaching reflects the same values that guide his design work: curiosity, rigorous research, technical precision, and an ongoing commitment to storytelling through space.
Brandon received his MFA in Scenic Design from the University of California, Irvine and his BFA in Theatre Arts from Stephens College. He has designed more than 130 productions and assisted on over 40 productions at regional theatres and Off-Broadway. He is a member of United Scenic Artists, Local USA 829, and the United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT).
