“I so love starting with a project from its infancy stage! Attending rehearsals is my favorite thing to do. Being in the room helping shape and form the production. Discussing; the palette, proportions, texture, mood, balance, harmony, contrast, space negative and positive. I feel like each project is one of my children and opening I send them out in to the world!”
