Designing venues that work – for audiences, artists, operators, and owners.
Venue consultant and project leader specializing in theatres, performance spaces, cultural venues, and complex assembly environments. I work with owners, architects, and design teams.

About
I've spent my career helping clients and design teams figure out how ambitious venues should actually work.
I enjoy getting into the details – sightlines, rigging loads, acoustic constraints, a schedule that doesn't add up – but always with an eye on the larger goal: helping a team make good decisions and create a place that achieves the project's goals.
That often means working between worlds: translating creative ideas into practical requirements, helping architects and specialists solve competing constraints, and giving owners the information they need to make confident decisions.
Alongside my venue expertise, I've led multidisciplinary design teams and managed complex projects through the design process. I'm comfortable taking responsibility for the bigger picture – aligning people, scope, schedule and decisions – while still understanding the technical details that can make or break a venue.
The projects I enjoy most are the ones with a strong idea, a lot of moving parts, and no obvious answer.
