Things that go bump in the night...
In addition to "normal" design work, I'm often hired to consult or design haunted attractions and scare zones for theme parks. The haunted attraction industry is a unique niche which requires a solid understanding of psychology, sociology, scare tactics, magic illusions, ADA and life safety rules, and other code compliance. I'm proud to have been part of many spine-tingling projects that have entertained and scared hundreds of thousands of people world-wide.

“From the moment you turn the corner into the soundstage, you’re greeted with one of the best entry facades Universal has ever produced. A stunning – and sinking – steam wheeler river boat, clearly once a symbol of elegance now dilapidated beyond repair, is so believable that it tricks your mind into thinking you’re walking crooked.”
