“In high school I turned my sight towards film making and wanted to get into the production side of creating movies. I soon realized I am not a director; really the only thing I like about movies is how they look. I dedicated my life to studying design. That put my career on a trajectory to study in Czech Republic where I studied abstract theatrical design to counterbalance my American education. This made me a more well-rounded designer. I brought it back to the U.S. and apply my international training in the design work I do now.”
“Designers like a certain level of control. I fell in love with bringing the psychology of the characters into subtle references in my design work. Purposely designing and evoking emotions through the set that I design brings a controlled experience to the guest or audience.”
