MY DESIGN PROCESS
I am an enthusiastic Set Designer who is a respectful, hardworking, team player, well-organized, goal-driven, positive, and honest individual.
As a set designer and scenic artist, I prefer doing research on concepts and topics realized in the script during my script analysis in order to develop original designs. Draw my concepts based on the research. Develop the drawings into design documents (floor plans, painter's elevation, and a perspective drawing). then render the final designs and build a scale model if necessary. lastly, managing the design from concept to manifestation.
