​About me.

Picture
I'm a bicoastal director specializing in devised performance, ensemble-driven work, and immersive events of all sizes. I use both classical and current techniques to create strong underpinnings for fresh, modern ideas.

My approach to directing is highly collaborative. I begin by creating a structured space where a diverse ensemble—performers and designers alike—are empowered to take creative risks. My vision serves as the point of departure to explore the work, and together, we make something that is bright and rich and powerful. I believe collaboration is at the heart of artistic excellence, whether working with established text or an experimental piece defying categorization. I've developed a methodology to allow all voices to be heard contributing to effective progress without muddying the process.

I am deeply interested in the future. By creating art I hope to foster the kind of empathy and creative thinking that will change the world.

I'm also a steel sculptor, filmmaker, podcast director, theatrical producer, and production manager. I delight in a properly crafted Sazerac.
