About
I have been working in the theme, event, exhibit and theatre design industries for the past ten plus years. Over this time period, I have been able to sharpen my skills and talents on a wide range of very notable projects, from the design of theme park installations to the Gladys Knight show at the Flamingo Las Vegas. I am looking to expand my experiences and develop my talents even further in these fields.
