After tip-toeing into a variety of fields (and collecting a few unemployable skills along the way), I finally found my spotlight in 2022, when I discovered lighting and set design for live entertainment. That aha moment led me to Humber College’s Theatre Arts – Technical Production program, where I dove headfirst into the world of creative collaboration, cables, and cues, graduating in May 2024. This portfolio is a glimpse into my ride so far—featuring professional and academic design projects that reflect my growth and curiosity to making the stage shine (and occasionally, spin).

​Below is a list of credits for the shows I have worked on to date. For the shows where I served as an assistant lighting designer, although I have pictures from these productions, I do not feel it is necessary to upload them. As an assistant to Nick Blais (nblaisdesign.com), my role is primarily focused on ensuring that all paperwork is in order, even though I gained valuable insights into the design process through my collaboration with him. For the projects where I worked as both a lighting designer and/or photographer, I have included images for reference, as I want to highlight my photography skills too,

 

The album titled Various Shows serves as proof of images taken during my time as a production operator with the City of Mississauga's Recreation & Culture Division. In this role, I served as a lighting technician and occasionally as a designer. There was one show during my time with the City where I was given the opportunity to make creative decisions. This experience marked one of my first design projects. For this particular show, I have uploaded images into a separate album titled Tribute to Queen. 

 

The album titled Vultures is my final year academic design project, where I was tasked with designing the set, lighting and the costumes for the play Vultures.  Please click on the albums below to view more details.
