I began my career at 14 in a 1,800-seat theater, where I developed an early foundation in live performance, technical systems, and guest experience.

By 17, I joined Rhino Staging, contributing to large-scale concert productions across arenas and stadiums with capacities exceeding 25,000. This experience shaped my ability to operate within complex, fast-paced environments while maintaining a strong focus on safety, precision, and show flow.

I was later accepted to California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), where I earned a BFA in Experience Design, Production, and Management from the School of Theater. My training emphasized the integration of narrative, environment, and technology to create immersive audience experiences. During this time, I also worked in broadcast television, contributing to productions including Big Brother at CBS and the 75th Academy Awards at ABC.

Most recently, I continued my work with Rhino Staging, supporting major touring productions including Metallica, Post Malone, ColdPlay,  Katy Perry and others. 

Metallica's  Denver stadium engagement required   90 semi-trucks, over 650 moving fixtures and a crew of more than 150 stagehands— my second local crew invite over the years truly reinforces my ability to contribute effectively at scale.

In parallel, I joined Max and Livie, a Denver Based atmosphere/scenic design group focused on providing Destination  Management Companies like PRA, Access, CSI , E5 and others with the support, design and execution of high-end corporate convention and expo environments.

My work focuses on joining teams that translate imaginative ideas into cutting-edge, experiential spaces—bringing together scenic décor and all aspects of expo atmosphere / production to collaborate across vendors, modalities and venues where we deliver remarkable and inventive guest experiences.
