About Me

I am focused on sustainable production practices and visual storytelling. I moved to Los Angeles in 2016, after completing my MFA in Scenic Design from The University of Arizona. I prides myself on creating realistically detailed worlds that reflect untold/offscreen moments in character's lives. Using visual metaphors, I work with directors and other department heads to provide the most immersive world possible on any variety of budgets.

I have been in the industry since 2008.

Melissa was the art director on my recent music video shoot for an indie rock band - can't tell you how many times she helped me make a great visual decision! She was a huge asset to our crew and to the shoot and was a pleasure to work with. http://youtu.be/I7o4_cF6Sm0
