MY WORLD,

MY WORK

Originally from Wisconsin, I graduated with a double major in Scenic Design and Spanish from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh in May of 2020. After working extensively with the theater program over my four years in undergrad, I decided to pursue my MFA in Scenic Design and Technology from Florida Atlantic University. After graduating in 2023, I began to work extensively in the South Florida community as a Scenic Designer, Properties Master, Scenic Painter, and Adjust Professor. I am now the Resident Production Manager at Theatre Lab, the profession resident theatre company of Florida Atlantic University.

 

My work spans a wide range of theatrical productions, where I collaborate closely with directors, artists, and technicians to shape spaces that enhance narrative, emotion, and audience connection. With a background rooted in both artistic exploration and practical design, I approach each project with curiosity, care, and a deep respect for the collaborative process that defines live performance. For me, theater is not only an art form—it’s a shared experience, a space where imagination meets reality, and I strive to craft environments that invite audiences to step fully into that world.
