Summary
I am an experienced creative who thrives crafting cohesive and visually compelling set designs and immersive experiences that align with production goals. With an understanding of both scenic treatments and set dressing I strive to enhance the overall visual narrative and story telling to make spaces feel lived in and believable for the guest experience. After years of working on HHN as a scenic artist and through lending my creative to propping for Epic Universe, I am eager to collaborate with other artists and am looking to further expand my skills and experience through this position.
