About Matt

My specialty in theatrical and event design center on crafting the perfect gestures and environments for your production or event. A career of working with both traditional and experimental performance spaces and artists have built my expertise in supporting your projects.

In addition to my theatrical design work and trainging, I am with 4Wall Entertainment as a project manager, designing and managing events large and small.

Formerly I was also the resident Lighting Director and Associate TD at REDCAT, Los Angeles’ premiere center for contemporary art, where from 2015 to 2021 I designed and supported over 250 productions ranging from avant garde dance and theater to experimental and groundbreaking musical performances.

I received an M.F.A. in Entertainment and Media Design at UCLA’s School of Theatre, Film, and Television. My Bachelors of Arts was attained at Santa Clara University.
