About
Hello, I’m Joe Johnson, a scenic designer based in the Chicago. I earned an MFA in Scenic Design from Northwestern University and a BFA in Scenic Design from the University of Minnesota Duluth, and I love creating immersive environments that are driven by storytelling. My work ranges from intimate university productions to professional regional theatre, and I enjoy collaborating with directors, designers, and crews to bring spaces to life.
In my practice I blend traditional hand drafting and model-building with modern tools like Photoshop, Procreate, and SketchUp to realize concepts from early sketches to fully realized designs. I’m excited to continue exploring versatility across genres and venues.
