Design Work
Most of my work stems from a background in illustration and a love of densely-packed children's picture-books; I love filling the shows I work on with tiny details, little secrets for performers and audiences to discover.
Additionally, I put a lot of focus on the ability for a design to be interacted with and changed throughout both the process and the performance itself; I like to create worlds that truly mesh with my collaborators and the way they work & move their bodies. My favourite pieces to work on are the ones that embrace theatre's ability to be truly absurd and magical.
Studio Work
I save a lot of preliminary sketches and drafting from hypothetical projects, cancelled shows, assistant work and personal pieces that I do in my own time. They become a good indication of how my process & techniques have changed over time, as well as the kinds of materials I'll produce to communicate ideas with the people I'm working with.
