I use light to support the story, shape, and atmosphere, guiding the audience’s focus. My designs are grounded in research and a clear understanding of the production’s world and emotional journey

Every design begins with research. From understanding the script to collaborating with your creative team, the stage is about asking questions and finding inspiration to build a clear visual direction and design.

CONCEPT SKETCH
Sister Sophia Kicks the Habit, follows an ageing nun experiencing a crisis of faith while grieving the loss of her close friend. During a restless night of reflection, she confronts her relationship with God, her years of sisterhood, and the choices and sacrifices that have shaped her life. Blending humour, heartfelt reflection, musings, and song, the production explores grief, faith, doubt, and self-discovery as Sophia begins to find a new outlook on life.

This is where ideas become reality. I translate the concept into a workable design, create and refine paperwork, collaborate during research, and program the show to bring the world of the production to life.

The final stage is seeing the design in front of an audience. I make final adjustments, document the production, and reflect on what I worked on, what I learned, and how I can continue to grow as a designer
