The Tv series called for rubber replica's of a craft knife which needed to be actor safe for a fight scene.

Prop Design - Both your Houses- 2019
Directed by Mina Morita
Produced by American Conservatory Theatre
This was a really interesting play as it portrays the behind the scenes production of Romeo and Juliet. This meant that there where behind the scenes props and set dress such as a visible prop table and dressing room. This play also called for props that would be used for the Romeo and Juliet production within the play. Props included the fabrication of a large roast pig and a skewer holding eight quails.
Prop Design - Transfers - 2019
Directed by Ken Savage
Produced by Crowded Fire Theatre
Prop design for this play included the dressing out of the university office book case, which also doubled as a hotel bed. It was important to distinguish the two spaces from each other and define the university space from the hotel room.
The university applications and student case files were represented in detail to give weight to the scholarship process.
Prop Design - Hookman - 2018
Directed by Allie Moss
Produced by American Conservatory Theatre
This play was a absurdist portrayal on two events - a sexual assault and a car accident. Victims guilt, accountability and blame are explored and flipped many times as are the timelines and the reality of each of the characters interactions.
The props for this show were made to be realistic to counter the absurd action such as a cherry pie which oozes blood, the Hookman's hook prosthetic, and artificial snow balls.

Prop Design - The Bacchae - 2018
