About

My name is Trini — I'm a student @ Stanford working towards a B.S. Design and B.A. Theater and Performance Studies.

In my Design degree, I work towards creating immersive experiences and tell impactful stories. I am also pursuing a degree in the Theater and Performance Studies department — where I concentrate in theatrical design (lighting design).

I currently work at the Designing Education Lab in the Center for Design Research, promoting accessibility for blind and low-vision students, and the TAPS Scene Shop, supporting electrics and scenic construction.

Through that work as a scenic technician on professional mainstages and as a student designer with a repertory theatrical company, I've gained tangible experience in taking design concepts from ideation to full performance realization :)
