Ugh, another list of "must read" books. As if creativity can be boiled down to a few well-worn classics. Where's the diversity, the fresh perspectives? Disappointed, but not surprised

Production design has come a long way. Trends come and go, but timeless principles - like intentional use of space, light, and texture - remain core to creating immersive, meaningful environments. It's an art I'm honored to practice

Geometry is my secret sauce for sets that captivate. From sharp lines to bold shapes, I use math to craft visuals that stop you in your tracks. It's all about finding that perfect angle

You know what they say - inspiration strikes when you least expect it! Just took a stroll and found the coolest textures, colors, and shapes. Never know where the next big design idea will come from. The hunt is half the fun!

The daily grind of a production designer: sketching concepts, collaborating with crews, and seeing your vision come to life on set. It's more than just DIY decor - it's an art in itself

Forget "perfect" - theatre is messy, chaotic, and always a work in progress. But that's what makes it real, eh? No awards or accolades can change that. Kiwi theatre is the wild, untamed heart of our culture
