OVERVIEW

At San Diego State, I was elected creative director and historian by my fraternity. This was an oppurtunity for me to truly showcase my work on a massive scale with no restrictions. Every set design is developed with specific goals: to capture the spirit of a holiday or theme, evoke a feeling, and immerse viewers in a unique atmosphere. Each painting is created with careful attention to detail, intuitive ideas and required more than 40 hours of work from the initial concept to the final execution. Once an event concluded, the walls were painted black to create a blank canvas for the next design, allowing each environment to be completely transformed. To help convey the true scale of these installations, I am pictured in front of many of the murals throughout each subpage. Several of these murals span approximately 24 feet wide by 14 feet tall, while others, such as the “IT” clown face in the Halloween Set, measure 14 by 14 feet. My goal was for guests to feel as though they had stepped away from the ordinary world and into a completely different environment, creating a memorable visual experience that leaves a lasting impression long after the event had ended.
