Professional Background

My first love is (and will always be) the Theatre.

It’s where I felt like I could be freely and wildly enamoured with the creative act. Where I could experiment and play, refine and design. Where I could fall into a divine flow and feel catharsis in a moment never to be replicated again.

It felt like a bridge to another realm. I was making something to lay at the feet of the Holy Muses. Ernest efforts to make their bellies jiggle with laughter, their eyes swell with water in hearing how we mere mortals sing life’s beauty.

I like to think I carried that passion and devotion into everything else I’ve done ever since - even if non-theatre industries played by other rules, asked my to hide my parts, and had very different metrics of success.

Wild concerts, Industry-first Fashion Weeks, Galas & Award Shows, Conferences on the future, Oceans, Data and design, Film sets atop Mountains, cleared out bridges and in the Arctic Circle, an epic scale Studio Reno, and Parades of Lost (and found) Souls…opportunities rolled in and I said yes as often as I could.

My work life has been a winding path I could have never designed.

Gratitude to those who followed their instincts, the advice of a friend or just liked my vibe enough to invite me into their sacred circles for a dance.

Apologies to those experiences, names and projects I may have forgotten. I welcome corrections.
