St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada

Scenic Designer, Magician and Effects Wizard.

I’m a scenic designer, illusion creator, and theatre maker who loves bringing impossible ideas to the stage.

My work blends traditional set design with technology, projection, practical effects, and a little bit of theatrical mischief. I’ve designed everything from intimate community theatre productions to large-scale musicals, always chasing that moment when an audience forgets they’re looking at a set and starts believing in the world we’ve created.

With a background in magic, engineering, and storytelling, I approach every project as a puzzle. How do we make something bigger, smarter, more surprising, and more memorable?

Whether it’s a transforming set piece, a hidden illusion, a projected environment, or a simple scenic detail that completes the story, I love collaborating with creative teams to make theatre feel magical.
