About Me

My work lives at the intersection of storytelling, design, and human experience. With over 25 years of professional experience in theatre production, direction, and design, I create environments where narrative, space, and performance come together to engage and inspire audiences.

As a director and designer, I approach each project as an integrated experience—considering how performers, visuals, and environment work together to shape meaning and connection. My background in theatre has provided a strong foundation in narrative development, spatial awareness, and collaborative creation, allowing me to guide projects from concept through execution with both clarity and creativity.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively in educational and professional settings, developing programs and productions that support diverse learners and audiences. I am deeply committed to inclusive practices, including work that integrates American Sign Language and adaptive theatre approaches, ensuring that all participants feel seen, supported, and connected to the work.

In addition to my work in theatre, I bring a passion for design beyond the stage, including residential staging and spatial transformation projects. This work reflects my broader interest in how environments influence experience, behavior, and emotional connection.

Whether directing a production, designing a visual environment, or developing a creative program, my goal is to create meaningful, cohesive experiences that resonate with both participants and audiences.

Design Philosophy

My approach to design is rooted in process, collaboration, and student voice. I believe that every student brings a unique perspective to the creative process, and my role as a designer and creative guide is to challenge and support that development.

Through performance, design, and production work, team members  learn not only technical skills but also critical thinking, communication, and resilience. I emphasize an inclusive environment where all students feel seen, heard, and empowered to take creative risks.

In both in-person and online environments, I prioritize clear structure, meaningful feedback, and collaborative learning experiences. By integrating digital tools and creative practice, I aim to make theater education accessible, engaging, and relevant for all learners.
