FILM & TV
My professional career is founded on an HBA in Stage Design and optimal results made with low budgets in Cuba. I have worked and gained experience the hard way. In five years in the TV and film industries on the island, I started as a Set Decorator, Art Director Assistant to an Art Director/Production Designer and Co-director. In Canada, I resumed my career in the industry, both at the Indie and professional levels. I joined IATSE 873 in 2015 and started as a Set Dresser, moving to Lead, 1st Lead and Decorator.
THEATRE
Theatre is the foundation of storytelling. I derive great satisfaction from designing sets, characters and costumes. The experience I had working as a theater-technician building props has proven useful to the work I do as a Set and Production Designer. These are not disjointed activities– one deals with the beginning and one with the end of a unifying process. Having accumulated experience in both, I and my work have reached a level of wholesomeness not possible otherwise.
