How very! I took on the role of Set Designer for my college's production of Heathers (while also playing the role of a very angsty emo teen)! Put on the hard hat for this one- the role of set designer involved designing and building the entirety of the set for the musical. The set consisted of everything you see below, built from scratch. That means a platform and stairs built to hold a full dancing cast, lockers that had to open, stained glass windows, interchangeable backgrounds and, of course, a slurpee machine.

          I took on this role to explore another aspect of engineering and how it may fit into more artistic fields. While set building doesn't directly relate to my branch of engineering, I learned a lot about what goes into production and truly enjoyed the interdisciplinary nature of it all.
