Experiential designer and producer with 9+ years of design experience and a PhD in Arts and Technology. Experience in directing and collaborating with diverse teams to create complex interactive installations, immersive environments, and participatory experiences. My work has been shown in Spain, Denmark, France, New York, Portland, and Dallas.
I have 13+ years of experience working as producer and project manager of events, experiential design projects, video (pre, set and post), still (pre, set and post), casting, fundraisers.
Because I have worked for several years as both designer and producer, my design work is very aware of the constraints of reality (budgets and schedules), and my production work is focused on guiding the team towards the deadlines and deliverables without losing sight of the creative concept. Through my doctoral work I became an specialist in producing meaningful space-based interactive experiences for visitors and participants.
