WELCOME TO MY SITE!
I have had the great fortune of working on a variety of different design and artistic projects for a variety of clients in a variety of different disciplines. From theatre set design to major corporate events and tradeshow exhibits to fine art and photography, my artistic life has covered the gamut of creative experiences. Please feel free to explore the many creative avenues I have traveled...
THE BRAND ENVIRONMENT
EXHIBITS, EVENTS & TRADE SHOWS
I have been designing brand environments for nearly 20 years. I started off designing small modular exhibits for tradeshows, which then progressed over the years to designing entire major events.
CORPORATE EVENT STAGES & KEYNOTES
WHERE THEATRE AND THE CORPORATE DESIGN WORLD MEET
My theatrical education and training laid the foundation for a logical transistion to designing corporate stage environments. Working with big clients like Old Navy, Banana Republic, GAP, NALC (National Association of Letter Carriers) and others was a tremendous experience which opened the door for me to begin designing brand environments "outside of the ballroom."
THEATRE SET DESIGN
WHEN I BECAME A DESIGNER
Theatre is where I first realized that designing physical environments for people to interact within was something I really had a passion for. There is something magical in collaborating with highly creative people- actors, directors, costume designers, lighting designers and sound designers- to conjure up worlds whether anchored in realism or set aloft in whimsy. One standout highlight of my theatre set design career was winning the Broadway World "Best Set Design for a Drama (Denver Area)" Award in 2014 for the Thingamajig Theatre Company's production of "Red."
GRAPHICS, BRANDING & LOGO DESIGN
THE SKIN ON THE BONES
When I'm designing environments, I can't NOT think about the graphics that skin the bones of that environment. The graphics are such are integral part of the visual aethetic and the primary vehicle for telling the story. I have seen so many environmental designs fail because the graphics were not given the attention they deserve.
I really love graphic design... I find it challenging. I've designed everything from branding a new business with brand guidelines, logos and business cards to designing every graphic for an entire event, from the miniscule to the mighty.
