Tim lives in New York City, where he is a freelance designer and scenic design assistant. He regularly designs Off- and Off-Off-Broadway, as well as regionaly. Favorite New York credits include Volume of Smoke, Six Degrees of Separation, Claymont, and Guilty.

Prior to moving to New York, he lived in Seattle, Washington, where he earned his MFA in scenic design at the University of Washington's School of Drama.

Before moving to Seattle, Tim worked as a set designer and scenic artist, first for Playhouse on the Square in Memphis, TN, and then later for Theatre IV & The Barksdale Theatre in Richmond, VA.  

In one intense year at Playhouse on the Square and its sister theatre, The Circuit Playhouse, he designed and painted 8 shows, while acting as charge artist for an additional 11 plays and musicals.  He considers POTS one of his artistic homes, and has been thrilled to return there as a guest artist a number of times in the years since he first worked there.

 

In addition to his work as a designer, Tim has also worked as a freelance design assistant in the studios of some of the country's top scenic designers. He has had the opportunity to work on projects all over the country with exciting designers such as Loy Arcenas, David Zinn, Allen Moyer, Klara Zieglerova, Thomas Lynch, Christine Jones, Mimi Lien, Robert Dahlstrom and Bill Forester.

Originally from rural Virginia, Tim is a graduate of The College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg , VA.   He is cool.
