I approach LIGHTING DESIGN through the lens of a dramaturgical storyteller.
With an art-forward, painterly, poetic perspective, I am someone who believes that lighting is the 'connective-tissue', that brings the raw materials, of a multi-layered story, together into one cohesive visual.
In my point of view, lighting is the emotional undercurrent that helps calibrate the journey of the audience. Telling the viewer where to look, but most importantly, how to feel, in each specifically focused and curated moment.
I enjoy the creative process. Collaboration is a team sport, and being a proactive, problem solving, team player, who is always 'listening to understand', is very important to me.
I love contributing, where and when I can, to the collective vision put forth by the director, inspired by the world-building words of the writer.
I believe theater has the power to change the world, and I strive to create work that not only entertains, but also heals and holds a mirror to humanity on a subconscious level -- leaving audiences better off than when they arrived and thinking differently about the world as they depart.
