As a skilled and experienced Set Designer, I bring a wealth of technical and creative expertise to every project. Holding a BFA in Film Studies from Toronto Metropolitan University, with a specialization in Scenographic Design, and certifications in Design for Arts & Entertainment & Advanced 3D-Auto-Cad design. I am well-equipped to bring stories to life through set design.

With 2 years of experience working as a designer at set design studios Unit 11 and 6+5 inc, I have collaborated on a wide range of projects with industrial designers, architects, and interior designers. I am member of the Directors Guild of Canada and have had the privilege to work on several set designs for TV shows such as Ginny & Georgia, Most Dangerous Game, Tallboyz seasons 2 & 3, & Star Trek Discovery season 4.

My recent DGC work includes designing an entire 50' penthouse on a soundstage as a 1st Assistant Art Director/Set Designer on the TV show “Robyn Hood” and working as a 2ed assistant set designer on “13 The Musical.” As well as production designing the short film “Pick” which won a 2020 Canadian Screen Award.

I am skilled in SketchUp, AutoCAD 2D/3D, Adobe Suite; Photoshop & Indesign, & rendering with Rhino. I’m familiar with drafting CNC design and cut files, construction drawings, wood construction, and on-set solutions. I am always seeking to improve my skills, whether it's through learning new programs and techniques, or staying current with industry developments. I am currently learning Rhino, Grasshopper, and Vray to improve my 3D modeling and rendering abilities. I’m always excited & looking forward to working with a team to bring their creative ideas to life.

I am currently available for hire through the DGC. Please email me directly for freelance projects ranging from short films, indie features, commercials and music videos.
