Born in 1993, I studied architecture at University of British Columbia in Vancouver and at the ETH Zurich. Early on I started to engage in scenography as an opportunity to explore space outside the strict limitations of architecture.

In my practice I design stages for theatre, opera, dance, as well as exhibitions, event spaces and installations.

Some of my recent credits include; stage designs for Inside Outside Europe for European Capital of Culture in Chemnitz, Rathaus (Liebe Leute) in Mainfranken Theater Würzburg and A Young Swallowman at Munich Kammerspiele. Previous film credits include set design for Timeless and The Good Doctor at Vancouver Film Studios. In 2018 I received a nomination for the Ovation! Award for Outstanding Set Design for my work in theatre.

As an associate, I have worked closely with British artist and stage designer Es Devlin on large-scale sculptures, installations, exhibitions, dance and opera projects, including; Boris Godunov at Teatro Alla Scala and Here Not Here at Gothenburg Opera.
