My Work

 
 

My Philosophy

I never go into a project fully confident it will succeed. It's essential that there be an element of uncertainty; a risk has to be taken. I won't say that I'm prepared to fail because it's not in my nature. I will say I'm open to the endless possible outcomes. I always try something new, challenge myself. That's what excites me, and hopefully, my work reflects that.

And details. Details! Everything tells a story. From how an actor drinks a beer or what they carry in their pocket or what fills an unused corner of the stage, I see everything as an opportunity to tell a story and enrich an audiences's experience. I want to ignite their imaginations. I want to move them.

Taking words on a page and giving them life, giving them dimension!

My Charge

1. TELL THE STORY.

A basic human necessity. We love a good story. Respect the text and find the best way to share it.
 
 
 

2. TELL THE TRUTH.

Get to the heart of matter. Dig deep. Be honest.
 

3. ENGAGE THE AUDIENCE.

The most important component. For a short while, they want to leave their daily lives behind. Get lost together.
