    ​The scenic designer’s role in a play’s production is to help the audience understand and relate to a play on its most basic, human level.  He or she must distill the play’s meaning down to its simplest form and present it to the audience through a visually poetic environment.  The designer should force the audience to think, while also having a visceral, unconscious reaction to the production.  This requires the scenic designer to have a very personal response to the text, relating to it through associations, and transforming it into a visual metaphor for the stage.  My goal as a scenic designer is to create thought provoking designs that will inspire growth and resonate with my audience on the most personal, human level.​
