Wendy Geng

Scenic Designer

2026, she/her MFA, Scenic Design

Wendy Geng is a Scenic and Narrative Environment Designer, exploring how space can carry narrative, evoke emotion, and influence behavior.

She is dedicated to translating abstract concepts and emotions into walkable, perceptible physical realities, creating visually engaging and memorable worlds for theatre and themed experiences. For the production The House of Bernarda Alba, she transformed research on 1930s Spain into a spatial metaphor of repression, realized through architectural elements like high walls and a collaboratively developed curtain that combined projection with silhouette.

Her work also extends into more open, immersive narrative fields. In the Mango TV Who’s the Murderer exhibition project, she contributed to planning a non-linear visitor flow driven by “key props,” aiming to maintain logical consistency and exploratory freedom within a multi-threaded narrative.

With a dual academic background in Scenic Design and Interior Design, she focuses on a holistic consideration from macro atmosphere to micro details and maintains a passion for exploring the myriad possibilities of “environment as narrative.” Her process is typically grounded in systematic design research, facilitated by 3D visualization tools (such as Rhino, SketchUp, D5), and close teamwork to gradually develop concepts into realized spaces.

In her free time, she enjoys observing and documenting the interactions between space and people through architectural walks, photography, and handicrafts.
