I have been a professional lighting designer for a number of years, and am currently working at Lighting Management as a retail lighting designer. I have worked extensively in New York, New Jersey and the surrounding NYC Metropolitan areas. In 2004, I received a degree in theatre from The Ohio State University with an emphasis in lighting design. My most recent theater lighting designs include Kiss of the Spiderwoman with 4th Wall Theatre, A Midsummer Night's Dream at CUNY John Jay College, and The Rainmaker at 12 Miles West Theatre Company.


Kiss of the Spiderwoman The Prisoners in 4th Walls Kiss of the Spiderwoman

Kiss of the Spiderwoman revamps a harrowing tale of persecution into a dazzling spectacle that juxtaposes gritty realities with liberating fantasies. This moving story of two men, trapped not only by the walls of their Argentine prison but by the oppression of politics and society, tells a story that is just as relevant today as it was when the book was written in the 1970s.


A Midsummer Night's Dream (Titania talks to her fairies in A Midsummmer Nights Dream)

Midsummer is one of Shakespeare's richest and most spectacular works, with battling fairies in a magical kingdom and teenage lovers torn by their parent's unreasonable demands. A timeless story updated with a hip-hop twist for this production !


The Rainmaker The Rainmaker - Lighting Design Photo

The Rainmaker is a classic work of Americana, taking us back to a time in our country's history when life was lived close to the land, marriage seemed to be the prime objective of womanhood, and family determined the boundaries of one's life.

Happy Hour Frank and Jen in 12 Miles Wests world premier of Happy Hour

The world premier of John Wooten's Happy Hour, a volatile barroom drama, at 12 Miles West. Unfolding in roadside New Mexico, somewhere between El Paso and Los Cruces, dreams are shattered and violence erupts among a seedy assemblage of local losers and an innocent traveler. Cutting direction and sharply defined acting give the drama a compelling thrust.

Shakespeare's classic Midsummer revisioned in the 1920s. A spectacular performance in joint production with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Norfolk Symphony Orchestra, and the The Virginia Arts Festival. I served as Assistant Designer to Mary Tarantino on this production.


The Ride Down Mount Morgan The Ride Down Mount Morgan - Lighting Design Image - Lyman's Bigamy Fantasy

Miller's Ride Down Mount Morgan tells the tale of Lyman Felt, wealthy, successful and respected, a man whose passions and secrets lead him down a slippery slope that could end up ruining his life and the lives of those around him. The drama raises questions about love and marriage and the delicate bonds of family.

Tea for Three Tea For Three - Lady Bird, Pat & Betty

Weinberger's Tea For Three: Lady Bird, Pat & Betty reveals a gallery of intimate portraits of three remarkable First Ladies. We discover each at a threshold moment in her life, and learn the personal cost of what Pat Nixon called "the hardest unpaid job in the world." A deeply touching and often funny play starring Emmy Award—winning Elaine Bromka in a performance hailed as a "subtle feat of brilliant acting." Tea for Three runs through January 15th, 2005 at 12 Miles West Theatre Company.


Proof Highlighted Photo - Robert writes compulsively

Proof delves deep into the crisis a 25 year old woman faces when her father, a genius mathematician dies after a longstanding bout with psychological illness. The drama unfolds as an ingenious mathematical proof comes to the surface and Catherine battles with the notion that she has inherited her father's ill-fated intelligence.


Rimers of Eldritch Highlighted Photo

With Rimers, Wilson explores false morality in a small, mid-western town that leads to murder and innocence lost. The play grasps at the very fabric of Bible-Belt America, with its catchword morality and capability for the vicious.


Sueno Highlighted Photo

Sueno was a one act, dramatic new work performed and directed in partial fulfillment of Angeles Romero's MFA thesis at OSU. The multimedia piece explored the life and mind of Sor Juana Inez de la Cruz, 17th century Mexican nun. The lighting design for Sueno strove to demonstrate the isolation suffered by its sole character, a victim of severe religious persecution and unfulfilled genius. The dramatic lighting assisted the story-telling and established a strong sense of mood.


Porcelain Highlighted Photo

"Porcelain is an examination of a young man's crime of passion. Triply scorned as an Asian, a homosexual, and now a murderer, 19-year-old John Lee has confessed to shooting his lover in a public lavatory in London. A winner of the London Fringe Award for Best Play, Porcelain dissects the crime through a prism of conflicting voices: newscasts, flashbacks, and John's recollections to a prison psychiatrist."

The light design for Porcelain portrayed a highly isolated a fragmented in which the protagonist, John Lee, was imprisoned and exposed by pools of light.
