About me
I have been in love with theater from a very young age. i began as a performer but always loved the built aspects of life and theater. I went to undergrad to study architecture and continued to get my Master of Architecture degree from the University of Utah. After graduating I resumed my involvement in local theater productions and discovered that "set design" was a profession and that it would be a perfect blend of my love of theater and design. I returned to graduate school to study Scenic Design at the University of Maryland. Now, I will have earned my MFA in Scenic Design as of May 2016 and am eager to apply all of the skills and experience I've gained throughout my life in doing the thing I love best, making really great theatre.Additional skills:
Drafting (Vectorworks and AutoCAD), Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Model Making, 3D Modeling (Vectorworks, AutoCAD, SketchUp), Painting, Drawing, Photography, Graphic Design, Set Building, Sewing.
