I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California.  After high school I moved to New York to attend New York University where I studied Set Design, Art History and Architecture.  I graduated with honors and a BA in Art and Design Studies.

I work as a freelance set designer for film and theater, a scale model maker, and an architectural design assistant.  I have over four years of experience working in architecture and with several different noted architectural firms.  My production  design credits include work with New York University’s Gallatin Theater Troupe, the New York Fringe Festival, the New York Film Academy and several independent production companies.  For a more complete listing of my work and production experience, please see my Resume.

My favorite genres to design for are Science Fiction and Fantasy.  Most of my production designs include customized props, graphics and art work that I build myself.  I like to use to my designs to transport an audience to a new world, or to make this one just a little more surreal and extraordinary. 

I recently completed work as the Art Director for Passengers of 7D, a Science Fiction short currently in production.   I am also working on a few scripts for a series of Science Fiction films.  Excerpts and images from the series will be posted soon.
