IMMERSIVE -INTIMATE -EPIC
For 20 years, I have produced dynamic events for audiences on some of the country's most important stages, including 15 years at The Metropolitan Opera. In 2012, I founded the country's first immersive, site-specific opera company, serving as show director and project manager on every production. I created immersive experiences in restaurants, historic homes, gardens, and museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History.
My experience allows me to apply a combination of large-scale project management, budgeting, show direction, creative writing, and team leadership into everything I do. Whether working with existing IP or developing the entire experience from scratch, I am at home in every aspect of creation.
