I have been working consistently in architecture, film, theatre, and television as a designer and visualizer for the past seven years and recently, I have been working to incorporate more virtual reality and game design technologies into these fields, either directly as a replacement for a physical set, or indirectly as a tool to create one. My creative abilities in set and production design have been helped immensely by my background in architecture and art history.
Although I have primarily worked as a set and production designer for theatre, film, and television, I have also been working as a director and producer. I have found the challenge of leading a team of collaborators to be very engaging.
