The genius of Maslow’s scenic design…”
             Pittsburgh City Paper

“Maslow’s sets are positively elegant…stylish”
       Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Unlike directing, designing is a very tangible act:
metaphors are made manifest;
designing is the process of discovering the most useful context through which to show an audience
the story that a production wishes to tell.

In addition to often designing elements of the shows I direct, I also design for others. Working discretely as a designer gives me insights into the ways that these disciplines function. My ability to successfully use design as an active aspect of storytelling is part of what makes me a good director.
As a scenic designer,
I have created
multiple shows recognized by the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in its annual list of
"Best Productions” 
&
"Best Sets."
