Bio

I’ve had a long-standing love-affair with live event production, working with companies like Disney Music, Icon Management, Kraft-Engel Management, Creative Artists Management, Gabriel Iglesias, and Black Ink Presents to produce every type of live experience imaginable.

In 2012, I notched production design and scenic design on my toolbelt, fusing my skills as a producer with my emerging reputation for creating evocative environments.

For concerts, I’ve sourced and designed for Disney’s DCappella National Tour, Evil Dead in Concert at the Ace Hotel, and La La Land in Concert, Willy Wonka in Concert, and Beauty and the Beast in Concert - all at at the Hollywood Bowl.

For theater, I’ve designed the sets for Taste (Stage Raw Award winner; Ovation Award nominated), Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (L.A. Weekly Theater Award nominated), Astro Boy and the God of Comics, Skullduggery, and many more.

I’ve also created exhibition design for That’s From Disneyland! (which had over 50,000 visitors in one month), environmental design for Escape Room LA / The Theatre, immersive experiences at Pasadena Playhouse, and produced/designed over 200 special events for corporations and non-profit organizations.
