SOPHIE SMRCKA

 As a scenic and projections designer, I am most passionate about stories that consider the human condition, what it means to be alive, and our impact on the world around us. I seek to lift up the stories of people who are less understood, under-served, and under-represented. My hope is that every environment I design emphasizes the story being told, and helps influence audience’s perspectives of the world. 

In my design process, I work to find the core message of each story, and build an environment that embraces and highlights the people within. I believe the people should be the biggest and most important thing onstage. I also believe that the people are the most important part of the process, and collaboration with my team is hugely valuable to what I do.

I am currently local to the DMV area. I am accessible to the Baltimore, DC, and New York markets. I also often work in the Denver area. I am currently also available for regional freelance work as well as regional assistant work - both in person and remote.
