Props Designer

Neurodivergent, Queer

Gaithersburg, MD

I am fascinated with the ways in which people inhabit space, specifically with the objects they choose to populate it. I believe that space can tell a story and that someone's belongings provide a glimpse into their character and personality. Theatrical properties allow me to expand the narrative of the story being told and reveal layers of a character, all without saying a word.
I received a BFA with a concentration in painting and graphic design as well as a minor in Performance Design and Technology from the School of Art & Design at Alfred University in Alfred, New York.
​Within the realm of props, I specialize in paper props, painting, craftwork, and carpentry.
