Introduction

Light that serves the story, and paperwork that survives tech.

I design and run lighting for theatre. Four seasons of professional electrics work sit behind every plot I draft — I have hung it, focused it, patched it and run it from the booth, so I know what a design costs a crew before I put it on paper.

I'm a BFA Theatre Design/Technology candidate at Western Connecticut State University and a Staff Electrician at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor, NY, where I have worked on eleven productions since 2024 under Mike Billings. At WestRep Stage I design, assist and run moving lights alongside Oliver Wason.
