I am a designer, educator and researcher currently working between New York City and Toronto. My work and research are interdisciplinary, I am interested in theater, dance, and installation. My practice centers around the exploration of light and it’s ability to transform people and space. I am interested in exploring new media techniques while also utilizing antiquated technologies in order to create a dialogue between the two.

I am a graduate of the David Geffen School of Drama at Yale in projection design (as of May 2024). I have experience working as a projection and lighting designer as well as a content creator for performance. Recent work includes Projection Design for Wish You Were Here at the Yale Repertory Theater and Lighting Design for DIANAROSSDREAM for Dancemakers. Recent content creation credits include 2D animation for X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X at the Metropolitan Opera and 2D animation for Highway Patrol at the Goodman Theater.
