Scenic Art for Strong Events

Strong Events is a company that provides custom artwork, foam props, backdrops, signs, etc. for Major functions and events in and outside of Austin. Most things are built for transport and are usually completed between 1-3 weeks. Here are some of the projects I worked on.

The Seventh Room Build Out

The Seventh Room is a puzzle adventure game where customers come to experience many different worlds within a series of rooms filled with actors whom they interact with while trying to solve a puzzle. I was the technical director and prop master of this project's build out. Here you will see my concept drawings for the rooms, progress build shots, and my scenic painting work for puzzle rooms.
