About ME
I have clearly taken the road less traveled – a road that has taken me many fascinating places along my career journey. In fact, I’m always up for a new challenge, and perhaps this is the only way to explain how I’ve become a scenic designer AND a designer of educational exhibits AND an IATSE qualified props artisan AND the creator of an award-winning dance video AND that I’m also a former theoretical chemistry professor. I have an extensive and eclectic group of degrees, including a B.A. in chemistry, a second major in graphic and presentation design, and a chemistry Ph.D. Throughout all of these endeavors I have been driven by storytelling: even my Quantum Mechanics lecture notes were said to "read like a mystery novel."
I have 20 years of design experience, and I’ve been designing within the Seattle Theater Community since 2009. I have enjoyed designing for many area theaters, including ACT, Centerstage!, Village Theatre KIDSTAGE, Cornish College of the Arts, Sound Theatre Company, and others. I have been a Staff Carpenter for Book-It, and I have built sets and props for several other organizations, including ACT, Seattle Children's Theatre, and the 5th Avenue Theatre.
My preferred pronouns are She/Her.
