Scenic Designer

2025, she/her BFA Drama, Scenic Design

I am a passionate and dedicated Scenic Designer from the Midwest, currently in my senior year at Carnegie Mellon University, where I am pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drama with a focus on Scenic Design. My work is informed by a deep appreciation for the arts, drawing from a rich background in fine arts, muralism, and various styles of formal training, with particular expertise in scenic painting. In addition to my primary focus, I am complementing my studies with a minor in Cognitive Neuroscience, which allows me to merge my unique artistic vision with a deeper understanding of human perception and behavior.

I aim to create environments that support and enhance the theatrical experience through close collaboration. By blending creativity with specificity, I strive to design spaces that are not only visually stunning but also rich in meaning and atmosphere. I am driven by a desire to push the boundaries of design, using the language of art and science to evoke emotion, inspire thought, and create memorable and moving experiences for all who engage with my work.
