A SCAD Theatrical Production
A collaborative effort to turn a 90s New York apartment into a 1920s-style mansion. Worked with a mentor and 5 others to design each scene of the show. Contributions to the production were the Entrance Hall and the Hallway. Created a Grand Valance, columns, and a Hallway, which showed the audience when we entered the world of the Tottendale's Mansion.
Off-Broadway Summer Series
Collaborated with the Technical Director to develop intuitive drafting packets that streamlined the construction process within the scenic shop. By improving the theatre's SketchUp model, we established a centralized resource for efficient coordination across departments. This has refined the digital workflow and seamless communication between the design and technical teams.
Technical Director: Tom Hanson
Producer: Kurt & Charity Terrio
A SCAD Student Short Film
Goodbye explores loss and grief through symbolic design. Each character is defined by a unique color and animal motif: the protagonist, Linsdey, is paired with a purple butterfly (transformation), while the last Jason is represented by a cardinal- a symbol of visiting a loved one. Together, these design choices ground the story's heavy themes in a tangible visual identity.
