About ME
I have clearly taken the road less traveled – a road that has taken me many fascinating places along my career journey. In fact, I’m always up for a new challenge, and perhaps this is the only way to explain how I’ve become a designer of educational exhibits AND a scenic designer AND an IATSE qualified props artisan AND the creator of an award-winning dance video AND that I’m also a former theoretical chemistry professor. I have an extensive and eclectic group of degrees, including a B.A. in chemistry, a second major in graphic and presentation design, and a chemistry Ph.D. Throughout all of these endeavors I have been driven by storytelling: even my Quantum Mechanics lecture notes were said to "read like a mystery novel."
I’ve been designing exhibits since 2003 and theatrical scenery since 2009. I have enjoyed designing exhibits independently and for Lehrman Cameron Studio, and designing scenery for many area theaters, including Village Theatre KIDSTAGE and Cornish. I have been a Master Carpenter for Book-It and a Staff Props Artisan for Seattle Children's Theatre.
