Theatrical Lighting and Sound Designer

Empathy can be described as the exchange of energy between actors and audience, as well as the audience and itself.  As theatrical designers our job is to help this energy flow unimpeded through the space.

I am proficient in programming ETC Expression, ION, and Smartfade.  I have quite extensive experience working with analog sound consoles and am proficient using a few digital sound consoles such as the Yamaha O1V and Aurus Nexus.  I am proficient programming sound effects on QLab, SFX, and Multiplay cue systems.  During my time as an audio apprentice I also received a formal introduction to Protools, Abelton Live, and Logic Pro.
