Design

When designing sets, my priority is always on interactivity and movement. Sets that move should compliment the flow of the show and should provide rich opportunities for character interaction. 

Through prop mastering and theatre education I have had the opportunity to construct and acquire many interesting set pieces including furniture, sliding rails, and standing mirrors.. Notably, a ship helm I built  for The Little Mermaid was used by the Logos Theatre's touring production of The Horse and His boy at the DC Bible Museum.

In addition to sets and properties, I have switched to fully constructing and altering costume  pieces myself rather than just borrowing or bringing in seamstresses for more difficult costumes. The majority of costumes in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe were either constructed by myself or by students.

For production advertisement I have taken to making my own Graphics. These are all made using Canva.  Recently, I  have been asked to make designs for other local theatre programs as well. 

Scenic painting has been a passion of mine since college, where I was the scenic artist for all productions my senior year. Outside of my theatre program, my reputation has offered me opportunities to paint for other theater programs in the community other schools and church drama programs.

I design the lights for all of my shows within my school's program. I am proficient using older multiplex fader boards as well as modern boards; I actively use an ETC Ion and ChamSys QuickQ. 

I've built many props working for children's theaters but I also spent some time professionally working on props for Riverside Center for the Performing Arts. I have experience practicing stage combat and I  have worked on several productions that utilized stage weapons. I am proficient in their care and maintenance and have basic experience with theatrical firearms.
