I have worked as a professional sculptor since 2006 and have been a proud member of IATSE since 2019. It has been a genuinely meaningful journey, contributing as a Set Sculptor to film and television projects alongside deeply skilled artists, builders, and craftspeople across art, construction, scenic, and post-production departments.
Every project has been a true collaboration, and I value the shared problem-solving, trust, and creativity that make this work possible. I bring my experience not just to build forms, but to help support the larger creative vision in practical, thoughtful ways.
As a Department Head of Sculpture, I see it as a core responsibility to foster an environment where people feel safe to experiment, make mistakes, and grow, while preserving the sense of wonder and enjoyment that drew us all to this work in the first place.
