Hello! My name is Kaitlin, and I'm a scenic designer based in Florida with a passion for visual storytelling. I’m fascinated by the way environments can go beyond simply setting the scene—they can become active participants in shaping the narrative. I see the set not just as a backdrop, but as a character in its own right, capable of influencing how the audience experiences the emotions, themes, and messages of a story.
​
My design process is rooted in collaboration, research, and a thoughtful balance between creative vision and practical constraints.
​
Every project provides a new opportunity to be a visual storyteller and create a space that not only supports the actors and story, but also represents the diversity of experiences that make up our world. I strive to create environments that invite the audience into these worlds, where they can gain a deeper understanding and connection to the stories being told.
