GET TO KNOW ME
As a designer with a background in theatrical lighting design, I bring a diverse set of skills and experience to every project I work on. Collaboration is my passion, and I believe that the best results come from working together as a team. My focus is on storytelling, and I use every tool at my disposal - from lighting to painting to multimedia elements - to create a truly immersive experience. If you're looking for a designer who can take your project to the next level with a personal touch, look no further - I'm the artist you need to make it happen.
