I have worked in technical theatre and lighting since 2014, on a wide variety of productions and under the mentorship of many talented lighting designers and electricians. My first professional experience was as a spot operator at Theatre Aspen — an Equity theater. I have also worked with Aspen Santa Fe Ballet for multiple seasons. Hosting touring productions there developed my skills as an electrician and exposed me to world-class dance lighting design. Alongside theatre I spent four summers in live event lighting, where I gained experience working and troubleshooting in high-pace environments, setting up plots quickly, and running Hog 4 consoles.
I am an advanced Eos user and proficient in Vectorworks and in electrical practice: rigging, hanging, fly rail weight management, troubleshooting, and repair. I currently work as a field technician for Digital Dots, on both theatrical and architectural systems. This has included hanging and configuring lights for event spaces and theaters; laying out, installing, focusing, and refining track lighting in galleries; configuring and troubleshooting ETC Mosaic and Paradigm systems; configuring multi-system AV infrastructure; and developing software tools to interface with these systems. I have also configured Eos consoles and magic sheets for several spaces, including the multi-part Apex configuration that runs the two theaters at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art.
My design work is what I enjoy most — it draws on the technical experience and communication skills I have built over this time, in a creative and collaborative environment. I have designed professionally since 2022, mostly for dance, including for Pennington Dance Group at ARC Pasadena and for Scripps College's annual dance concert. Below is my full set of credits.
