I have a passion for creating environments that tell stories and function in unique ways.

I thrive on the finding solutions to ambiguous, difficult or just plain weird problems

My extensive work in the theatrical, architectural, exhibition, landscape and zoological design disciplines has given me specialized knowledge and a unique set of skills that allow for creative solutions to unusual problems. In close collaboration with clients, designers, writers, architects, engineers and fabricators I can guide your project from initial concept through design and into construction.

As Lead Designer at Hotopp Associates, I spent nearly 2 years programming, planning and designing Kind Heaven, a 100,000 sf immersive experience in Las Vegas. In coordination with teams at all four corners of the country, I have led and assisted numerous projects for clients including Sea World, Universal and Disney.

Before joining Hotopp in 2017, I was a Senior Associate and a Lead Designer at Studio Hanson|Roberts, a planning and design firm specializing in zoos and aquariums. During the 10+ years at SH|R, I worked with clients and collaborators around the globe, from aquariums in Vancouver, Peru and Quebec to zoos all over North America, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East and Europe.
