ABOUT

behind the scenes 16 candles
I like this photo...
because it captures a lovely moment of off-camera camaraderie (especially if you know their movie characters). While my work is about presentation, it's the off-stage, behind-the-scenes, non-dog-and-pony parts that I relish most. I have a design background but also a theater one and that part thrives on creative collaboration. So for 25 years and counting, I've enjoyed uncovering stories and building sets around them with some fantastic folk.
Also, I like cats, curious objects, soccer, sci-fi books, making food, minding the wildlife, and abundant alliteration.
