At home in a variety of genres, from sound and film production to site-specific décor and costume design, being employed for projects both in the world of modern pop/opera/theatre and for commercial events.
My Early training was focused on the music industry. Gaining much experience from 2003 to 2005, mentored by multiplatinum record producer/songwriter and Grammy winner Rudy Perez, in Miami Beach.
In France 2008, I oversaw the live Sound Engineering for Le Caveaux des oubliettes in Paris. Where I added lighting design to my live skill set, discovering and introducing Cymatic light VJ, installations of vibrating water.
