About me

Scott attended Boston University's School for the Arts and graduated with honors in 2000, with a BFA in Scenic Design.

After working professionally thorughout college at companies such as The Williamstown Theater Festival, the Shakespeare Theater of New Jersey and Hartford Theaterworks, Scott moved to New York City in late 2000, and since then has been designing there and around the country, amassing over 100 credits, including Academic, Off-Broadway, Regional, Operatic and Commercial productions.
