Production Design
Raised in San Diego, California, I embraced art and sunscreen at an early age. I attended the San Diego School for Creative and Performing Arts where I studied theatre.
Pace University brought me to New York City, where I majored in Film and Screen Studies as a member of the Pforzheimer Honors College. Despite picking up additional minors in Women and Gender Studies and Creative Writing, I still graduated a year early.
After graduation, I trained under Cheyenne Ford for the first class of Art Craft NYC, a month-long intensive in production design and the art department for film and TV.
I currently work as a production designer, prop master, and PA on projects filming in New York while writing pilots and features on my own. When I’m not working, I perform stand-up comedy in Brooklyn and study improvisational comedy.
