About
I currently run a company focusing on the design side of the event industry, specializing in creating concept renderings and designs for luxury weddings and high-end corporate events.
I specialize in visualizing and distilling ideas to tell an immersive story of the event, and can step in as a Concept Renderer, Set Designer, or Draftsman as each project requires.
As a set and projection designer, I've focused on storytelling using both mediums simultaneously. I have also assisted numerous designers on everything from Broadway shows to the Evening News, and I have designed weddings celebrations for everyone from Middle Eastern royal families to Indonesian supermodels.
I am driven by a desire to be constantly learning and broadening my aesthetic palate on each new project, to research and understand the subject matter as deeply as I can - to be growing creatively and intellectually from project to project.
Specialties: Event Design, Set Design, Projection design, model-making, concept development, Concept renderings, 2D/3D CAD drafting, environmental graphics. -
