Back in the day, started working with props and scenery before moving upstairs to the more coordinating role as PM.
Happiest when organizing the nitty-gritty, from offering pragmatic design advice to overseeing fabrication and that final panicky on-site install.
I believe I’m reasonably good at pitching the right register, thereby equally comfortable facing clients or rallying the troops.
Experienced with interactives.
Comfortable with Sketchup/Enscape and Photoshop.
