I wrote treatments for three unique play areas, and managed the designs from concept through end of schematic design.

I began as a coordinator at Riva Creative, where I coordinated the design and development for Bollywood Parks in Dubai. I over saw four departments, ensuring each one was meeting our tight series of deadlines. I also managed tracking design changes, client meetings, and budget.I have an extensive background in theatre, which helped me greatly when I was made head of the props department for Bollywood Parks.
