Exhibit / Experience / Production Designer

Oct 2008 - Apr 2018
An Exhibit/Experience/Production Designer by trade, I excel in managing projects from start to finish. From doodles and roughs to client-ready presentation renderings and shop-ready drafting, logistics solutions, budget management (and the inevitable client tweaks)... The results? Award winning, buzz-worthy exhibits, events and productions. After receiving my MFA from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, I worked as an Art Director and Production Designer on various feature films, shorts, music videos and commercials. A happy coincidence led me to exhibit design where I continue to work as an Exhibit/Experiential Designer, doing the occasional film project when I get the chance. I am currently looking for full-time opportunities in either the Exhibit/Trade or Marketing Industries. My experience as both a Designer and Production Manager positions me as a unique bridge between client project design ideation; and on-the-ground shop and vendor management, budget management, logistics and realization.
