Who am I

I’m an environmental designer. With a B.ASc in Structural Engineering, six years experience in Construction project management, 10 years relationship designing for Canada’s Wonderland, a M.Arch from the University of Calgary, and a multitude of other experiences from screenwriting to acting I am bringing together my experience to craft worlds for the themed entertainment industry.

interests

themed entertainment

Excitement and fun, but also serious business, the themed entertainment world is a massive industry. How popular culture is translated into real spaces, and virtual spaces blur the edges of our reality.

architecture

Traditional, fictional, proposed; architecture is a critically important element of our world. Whether it's a physically built structure or a fictional set-piece, how we craft our environments matters.

virtual environments

As more and more of us spend increasing amounts of time online, how does the design of our virtual environments impact emotions, collaboration, and social interaction?

Interests

I’m primarily interested in the edges of our everyday world. How we theme our spaces to craft new environments. How we build our buildings to evoke a feeling. How we attach meaning to specific places.
Beginning with haunted houses as a child I’ve been fascinating by the process of design environments ever since. World building for movies, television and video games. Immersive theme parks and experiences. Dramatic architecture to simple gestures defining a space.
