About the Artist
Damien is a properties artisan with a mixed background in engineering and art. Graduating undergrad with a B.S.,
it wasn't until he decided to return to school that he became involved with theater and entertainment.
During his time at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts he developed an interest in immersive and interactive entertainment.
Facinated by theme parks, escape rooms, and interactive exhibits, he wishes to pursue a career designing and building these attractions.
He is always looking to add new skills to his toolbox and frequently picks up new projects.
Some of his favorite projects to work on include carpentry, electronics, and assemblage pieces.

Entertainment Console
Designed to fit on a single sheet of plywood.
The console was assembled with dowel joints and raw edges were veneered to finish the look.
A small shelf hides on the back of the unit to hold a power strip.
Each small shelf has a slot wide enough to allow cords to pass through.
Brazier Legs

The legs were formed by steaming 1/4" plywood and laminating the strips.
These were clamped into a curved form to shape them as they dried.
