“For me, the circus is a magic show that appears and disappears like a world. A circus is disturbing. It is profound.”

In 2016, after a stint in Lancaster, PA, I moved back to New York City, where I found a job as an associate, designing props for the Ringling Bro's Barnum & Bailey Circus: Out of this World, which at the time was expected to be the final production of its 147-year history.
As an architecture student, I was perplexed by the idea of whimsy. How does one make something more fun? Eventually, I started to let go and work became play.
One of my favorite creations is the rocket clown car. Interestingly, I would create a very different kind of space vehicle years later.
