DIRECTING
Bold stories. Collaborative process. Work that matters.
I create artist-centered work through collaboration, curiosity, and bold storytelling —
building spaces where artists feel empowered, process is prioritized, and meaningful stories come to life.
I believe the job of a director is not to control every moment — it’s to create the conditions where artists can do their best work.
That means building rehearsal rooms rooted in trust, curiosity, and collaboration. I’m less interested in perfection than I am in connection — to the story, to each other, and to the audience.
My role is to shape a cohesive vision while giving artists the freedom to bring their own instincts, imagination, and brushstrokes to the work.
I want the people I collaborate with to leave stronger than they arrived — more confident in their craft, more connected to the art, and more willing to take bold creative risks.
I’m especially drawn to classical works and new scripts because both offer what excites me most: the freedom to reimagine, challenge, and make a story feel urgent now.
My goal is simple:
To create bold, collaborative work that feels alive — for the artists creating it & the audience experiencing it.
