About Sarah
I am a Costume and Scenic Designer for theater, opera, and dance. Arriving at theater design from a background in studio art, my work focuses on visual storytelling through a lens grounded in exploration, co-creation, and fellowship. With every project, my favorite day is that first design meeting when all ideas are possibilities, brainstorming turns into creative problem solving, and then, parameters are set, a visual language is agreed upon, and the work begins to take shape. I seek complex projects and diverse connections that fuel my passion for collaborative storytelling.
